Vintage Tonala Pottery Wall Plate Hand-Painted Mexican Bird Design Folk Art

Beautiful vintage Tonalá Mexican pottery plate, featuring a hand-painted bird surrounded by stylized florals and intricate border work. Crafted in the traditional barro bruñido (burnished clay) style from Tonalá, Jalisco, this piece showcases classic earthy tones of rust, black, grey, and ochre, applied using mineral pigments. The plate measures approximately 11.5" in diameter x 1.25" high (29.2 cm x 3.2 cm) and includes a handmade rope hanger for wall display. Condition Note: In good vintage condition with typical signs of age and handmade character. There are several small, shallow round indents and surface pits across the front — likely original to the firing process or common in traditional burnished clay pottery from Tonalá. These are not cracks or repairs. Some light surface scuffs and minor paint loss are present, especially along the rim. Please review all photos closely to assess overall condition. The piece remains structurally sound and displays beautifully.
