    Description

    I purchased this beautiful vase more than a decade ago on a trip to Nicaragua.   It has been on display in my home ever since.
    This pot most resembles the San Juan de Oriente "Traditional Incised Style" from Nicaragua.  It is unsigned.
    This Traditional Style, also called freeform style among the artists, is the traditional pottery design that San Juan de Oriente has become identified with and the original style for which it is known – or somewhat of a signature style for the area. Designs consist of images of plants, flowers, birds, frogs, fish, monkeys, and other themes from nature. These traditional styles often utilize background colors of terra cotta with a brick red color for trim and images painted in pigments of deep red, green, and blue. Once you see several variations of this style it becomes relatively easy to spot a piece of traditional San Juan pottery.
    Good to Very Good Condition. Shows some signs of wear in places.
    Shipped  via Prioroty Mail or Fedex home.  Double boxed for safety so shipping is a bit higher.
