Jose Bernabe Teapot, Tonala, Mexican Tourist Pottery

Peso Priced Item.   Jose Bernabe is a master of Mexican pottery, he is from Tonala and earned his place in the hierachy of Tonala potters for his petatillo designs.  This little pitcher may have been sold as a 'second' because there are some firing cracks in the handle.  They do not pose a threat to the piece, they are cosmetic but usually a work by an artist  of Bernabe's skill would not sell anything with a flaw.  Priced accordingly. This measures  10" wide  from handle to spout and 7 1/2" tall, very good condition.
