This lot comprises three decorative vessels: a metallic-finish glass cylinder, a signed studio pottery luminary, and a hand-painted Mexican earthenware vase. The glass vessel features a cylindrical form with a thick clear base and an all-over metallic gold and bronze finish applied to the body and interior. The studio pottery luminary is constructed of stoneware with a bulbous form, featuring three large almond-shaped cut-outs and small circular vent holes. It is decorated with a multi-toned reactive drip glaze in shades of olive green, navy blue, and white. The base features an incised signature that reads Juana. The Tonala-style vase is an earthenware piece with an ovoid body and flared neck, featuring a speckled buff ground decorated with hand-painted stylized bird and floral motifs in cobalt blue, ochre, forest green, and black. The base of the vase is marked with a hand-painted stylized S above the characters MEX. Luminary height: approx. 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) measured against a ruler. Condition: The items appear to be in good condition. The Tonala vase and studio pottery luminary exhibit minor glaze irregularities, surface pitting, and firing flaws typical of hand-crafted earthenware. The metallic glass vessel shows minor surface wear consistent with age and use. No visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration are present.
