Thanks so much, Amy. It’s fun looking through old pictures to find something for the themes.

The Chinese believe the owl to be significant of wisdom, so it might be similar? ? Nevertheless it is a quality piece of art

I do, too, Linda! So much detail in all this pottery, but those fine lines are quite remarkable.

Thanks so much for taking a look and commenting. I don’t exactly know how to answer your question about the owl. I “Googled” Mexican folk art owl and several sites came up, but nothing much on why the owl is part of the folk art. If you find something, let me know.

Yes indeed they are wonderful pieces. Is the owl symbolic of something in particular in Mexican folk art traditions?

Thanks for taking a look. These lovely pots really appealed to me. The patterns are so similar to quilt patterns and even some patterns I saw in Africa. Really liked them!
