Watering pot, 'Golden Flowers'

The soft petals and graceful contours of the sunflower inspire the composition of this hand-crafted watering pot, as the artisans of the Castillo Family depict the blooms from a uniquely intimate perspective. Background tones of sober green and dark blue intensify dominant golden hues, resulting in a luminous ceramic acquisition for any garden. The work of the Castillo Family represents part of the cultural and historical values of the state of Guanajuato, where they elaborate their treasured craft. Each piece is a laborious affair between the artisan and carefully selected clay, ensuring quality rather than quantity. Once the desired shape is achieved the surface is prepared in a mineral glaze and fired in a brick kiln. Patience and artistic virtue results in a captivating rendition of Talavera ceramics.
