This is a really sweet little decorative plate
with a smiling crescent moon face

This piece is all
handmade, hand painted and Burnished

pottery tradition called
bruñido
by
Antonio de Jesús Díaz Medrano
.  Antonio is a young artist from
Tonalá in Jalisco
Mexico, he comes from a long line of ceramic artists.
I have 13 other little plates like this one (see photos #5 & #6) by Antonio available in my Ebay Store....
It measures 4 3/4 inches across by 3/4 of an inch deep.
"He comes from a family of artisans, where he grew up with a taste for preserving family traditions, and like every Tonalteca child the trade, he learned from his parents; María Refugio Medrano Lumus and Roberto Díaz Jarero. Today Antonio represents the 5th generation of artisans, which he represents with great pride…..
His family has been dedicated to the craft for generations. "I was born and grew up in mud," says Antonio, who at 25 years of age has earned recognition for the artistic quality of his pieces."
This plate is a wonderful example of
Mexican Folk art and Ceramic traditions
from this area of Mexico.  This is a newly made piece and is in perfect condition and is
on the bottom.
This would make a great addition to your
Mexican Folk Art
collection or a
wonderful gift for a Desert Lover!!!
