Yapacunchi Covered Dish Or Candy Dish - Crespo Cuenca, Ecuador Ceramica

Description

For sale is a used brown Yapacunchi covered ceramica dish.  The dish has tones of brown and gold trim with a black felt bottom.  I see no damage. It was made in Ecuador and is a high quality production.  "The tradition of ceramics from Cuenca, Ecuador starts around 1500 B.C.  Later during the colonial period, Cuenca maintained a leading position as a center for ceramic artistry.  This legacy has been reinforced in recent years though the enthusiastic participation of reknown contemporary artists and decorators who have added prestige to the ceramics from Cuenca.  Today, the name Crespo is a symbol of this tradition in ceramics, due to the collaboration of Pablo and Pedro Crespo.  These two brothers have made possible to produce high quality artistic and decorative ceramics with the Crespo signature."  I see no Crespo signature on the item.
If you collect this type of ceramica or just like to own some of it, please place your bid.  U.S. bidders only, no overseas sales please.
