Featured Vintage Mexican Pot?

Measures about 4" x 7 "
Has a chip repair and a crack
Wondering who made this and approx age
Some red chalky marks

 

Your bowl may be considerably older than "vintage". It looks very similar to other examples from the pre-columbian Chupicuaro culture, found in west Mexico. The red markings may be the remains of catalog numbers from a museum or private collection.

I do not know if this style of pottery is being reproduced by modern potters in Mexico, but yours has a genuinely old look.

 

Yes, It could be! It is from a lot of very old NA and Mexican pots I bought about ten years ago. I didn't try selling it because of the damage and now I am going through boxes of old inventory in my garage and trying to figure out what what to do with them...

 

That's a sweet piece of clay!
