Bring vibrant folk artistry into your home with this stunning handmade pottery vase, signed “Juan.”
Crafted in the celebrated pottery village of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, this piece showcases the region’s rich ceramic tradition. The vase features a unique openwork (cutout) body, with hand-carved swirling vines and textured clay. Applied and hand-painted hummingbirds and tropical flowers in pink, green, and blue add lively color and depth to the natural earthen surface.
The artist’s name, “Juan,” is delicately incised into one of the carved leaves—an uncommon and personal signature style.
Perfect as a standalone art object, or as a decorative vessel for dried flowers, this vase makes a striking statement for lovers of Latin American folk art, collectors of signed pottery, or anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind accent piece.
