Description

Leopoldo Potosme Geometric Flower Cutout Pottery Luminary
This luminary can be used with a tea light candle OR electric lights. I used LED fairy lights to illuminate it so you could see how beautiful it is. There is a sticker on the inside that says made in Nicaragua. There are no cracks or chips.
It's 5 1/2" tall and about 5" wide.
Copied from the artists Women of the Cloud Forest page:
For the majority of the artisans in the ceramic community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, house and workshop are integrated as one. Half-worked ceramic pieces can be seen set upon living room tables alongside their grandchildren's latest homework assignment. The home of Leopoldo and Sara is no different, and with nine family members sharing the space, they literally eat, sleep and breathe pottery. The Potosme family has four children, two of whom, with their spouses, help to produce the orders for Women of the Cloud Forest. They are masters of a very detailed geometric work that can be seen on our geometric line of luminaries. Each piece is gridded out on the vessel and then the surface is meticulously scratched using a sharpened bicycle spoke, a technique called "scrafitto."
Condition is "Used".
