Description |
Round globular vessel with narrow neck that opens outward. Three bands circle the piece at its cinch, the largest at center is blue with a repeat floral/leaf pattern in-filled with stippling. The narrower band above has a repeat scallop design with a flower. Between each scallop the negative space is defined by a cross hatched design which fills the bottom band. Capula, Michoacan Mexico Odilia Pineda is a Mexican potter, who works in Capula, Michoacán with her husband Pedro Ruiz Martinez. Capula is noted for its ceramics distinguished by having its designs painted on with small dots in a technique called “punteaje. Pineda's work is noted not only for its precise punteaje, but also the use of “petatillo”, the use of fine crosshatching used to fill in background space, normally associated with Jalisco pottery. Pineda and her husband were named "grand masters" by the Fomento Cultural Banamex in 2001. |
