Tonala pottery is a traditional Mexican ceramic art form originating from the town of Tonala in Jalisco, Mexico. This style of pottery is known for its intricate hand-painted designs, often featuring stylized animals, flowers, and scenes from daily life. The pottery is typically made from locally sourced clay and fired at relatively low temperatures, giving it a characteristic earthy color and texture.
Tonala pottery has a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times, with techniques and designs evolving over centuries. In the 20th century, Tonala pottery gained international recognition as a significant expression of Mexican folk art. Pieces are often signed by the artists, adding to their value and collectibility.
