    I posted the one on the left before. i won the other one on ebay a couple months ago. i think it is a bit older than the other. it is signed w/ an impressed mark which says 'Mexico' on the base.

    i wish we had a 'Mexican Pottery' category.

      I have one similar to the one on the left. It is marked Ladislao, who I found out was one of the early 'master' potters of Mexico. This pot is all most identical to mine. Tonala matte finish piece. They are both stunners! Old, too.
    5. rodolfo8, 8 years ago
      I doubt that the design on these two pots are derived from the Aztec culture as I don't think the Aztecs got as far west as Jalisco. Perhaps the Purepecha and/or the Tonaltec cultures are more responsible. Also, due to pre-Colombian trading with Asia on the west coast of Mexico, these designs might reflect that influence.

      thank you rodolfo. it's actually called 'Aztec' and is a very collectible line of pottery from Tonala. they were produced in the 1930s/40s.
