Catalogue Note

Ejemplo extraordinario de la producción cerámica barroca del siglo XVIII mexicano, cuya solución ornamental esta dad a partir de formal modeladas en relieve y esmaltadas que representan motivos de azucenas, claveles, tallos y cordeles en armonía con graciosas figuras de animales silvestres tales como alacranes, insectos, lombrices, ranas y lagartijas. Sobresale del conjunto la vertedera que adopta la forma de rostro femenino con gran tocado propio de la época de elaboración. El resto de la decoración esta dado por puntos y pꦦlumeado en esmalte, salpicados a lo lardo de la superficie cerámica. En la parte inferior se distinguen las iniciales: C.D.T.E. que nos pueden remitir al propietario lo que a su vez podría indicar que se trate de una obra realizada por encargo.

Tanto la escasa variedad cromática como la delimitación de las zonas esmaltadas y la presencia de un patrón de puntos y plumeado nos remiten al centro productor de la zona de Guanajuato, en el cual una buena parte de su manufactura se caracterizaba por este tipo de lenguaje ornamental.🍌
