Ceramic Flower Frogs including Doña Rosa Blackware
Item Details
A selection of vintage ceramic flower frogs, having rounded forms and glazed surfaces. Included is a handbuilt Oaxaca Mexican handbuilt flower frog in the shape of a frog by renowned Mexican master potter Doña Rosa, signed to the underside.
Doña Rosa is known for her modern development of the use of black clay, “barro negro,” in Mexican pottery, and using a burnishing technique to compress the clay platelets so that the ware is exceptionally strong, glossy and has a rich, deep onyx black color. Her work is collected and prized among aficionados of the Mexican pottery tradition, and her family still operates her workshop in its original location.
