Vintage Atzompa Oaxaca Terracotta Wall Pocket Planter with Blue Flower

A charming wall pocket planter handcrafted in terracotta with a raised blue flower and green leaves painted by hand. The top handle is decorative; actual hanging is via the hole in the back. Includes a drainage hole at the bottom. Likely made in the 1970s-90s in Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, this piece reflects traditional techniques with a modern decorative twist.

Design and Technique: The planter features a rustic basket shape with a vibrant, three-dimensional blue flower. This decoration is a classic example of "Pastillaje," a traditional appliqué technique where clay details are added to the surface, which is characteristic of Atzompa pottery.

Size: 10.5"W x 9.5"D x 12"H (8"H without decorative handle)
Weight: approx. 5.5 lb
Condition: Slight unevenness and patina typical of handmade pottery

A beautiful addition for collectors of Mexican folk art or Atzompa pottery enthusiasts.
