Two Vintage Tzintzuntzan Plates from Michoacán, Mexico - 7.25" & 10.5" Diam.

Two Tzintzuntzan plates, both handmade and handpainted and are in excellent vintage condition. The color palate includes a cream background with dark brown animal imagery and design, and include a bird (pájaro) and a fish (pez). Both are unsigned and pieces in this condition are hard-to-find.

They would make a great accent in a range of décor styles from Southwestern, Rustic Coastal or Mid-Century.
