In this lot are two circa 1966 plates from Mexico. The first plate is by José Berabe. Jesús José Bernabe Campechano (1937-) is a fourth generation Mexican potter who is best known for keeping the disappearing ceramic form of “petatillo” alive. He has worked for over forty years in the ceramics town of Tonalá, Jalisco. He is best known for his petatillo pieces. Petatillo ceramics are noted for their intricate designs, which place tiny crosshatches in the empty spaces among the larger design elements. This work is intricate and time-consuming, which has made it expensive and hard to find. His family began making this pottery in the mid 19th century, and he has continued the tradition, teaching his children as well as others. Petatillo pieces are first colored red inside and out after drying. The major decorative images are first traced on the piece then filled in. The empty spaces that are left are filled in with tiny crosshatched lines, which gives the ceramic its name. The piece is fired for the first time, then glazed and fired again. This plate measures 9 1/2" across, in ver good condition and signed on the back "Jose Bernabe. C Tonala, Jal Mexico". The second plate is unsigned and made of a brown clay with cream and black paint. On the plate are two birds among leaves and flowers. the plate measures 13 1/4" across.
