Delivery Information

This gorgeous signed vase is by the Petrona Porras the daughter of the renowned ceramic artist Delores Porras family in Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, Mexico, a village famous for its hand-built pottery. The “Porfirio Díaz 703” is almost certainly the workshop’s street address. The incised flowers and textured leaves are characteristic of Atzompa folk pottery.

Dolores Porras (1937 - 2010), the Zapotec master potter who used color to transform the ceramic tradition of Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca.

Born in Santa Maria Atzompa, Dolores Porras embarked on her artistic journey at the age of 13, working alongside her father and adoptive mother. Prior to establishing her own workshop, she honed her skills in the studio of the renowned innovator, Teodora Blanco Núñez, where she acquired expertise in the decorative pastillage technique.

In the early 1980s, in collaboration with her husband Alfredo Regino Ramírez, she started to experiment with a novel technique for producing brilliantly colored ceramics. Dolores devised a translucent white glaze that gave her pieces a nearly iridescent quality, using it as a backdrop for vibrant contrasting colors. She introduced decorative bas relief forms, including mermaids, faces, fish, cacti, flowers, and regional animals. This work marked a significant shift from mere utilitarian pieces to true works of art.
