Wonderful Vintage Mexican Folk Art Tree of Life Candlestick antique treenware 6 1/4" wide

6 1/4" wide

terminating in those wonderfully clunky little feet with incised toes

with that round and deep lower half offset by its dramatically sloping lid which doubles as a handle

Wonderful Vintage Mexican Folk Art Tree of Life Candlestick antique treenware 6 1/4" wideOh how I love this! Hand built of earthenware terra cotta, this candlestick was decorated with with a white slip and colorful paints and dyes, then varnished, which gives it a nice shine. How charming I think she is, plus these little balls extending on wire from her arms and base! While unsigned, this piece is very much in the manner of the work of famous father and son Mexican folk artists Aurelio and Francisco Flores from Izcar de Matamoros
