Featured in this lot is this Pre-Columbian Redware Mushroom Form Vessel, possibly Colima, Mexico, circa 200BC to 300AD. This redware vessel has a saucer / mushroom form. A Colima redware vessel is a distinctive, polished reddish-brown ceramic pot from ancient West Mexico (Colima culture, ~200 BCE - 300 CE), famous for its realistic animal forms (dogs, frogs, parrots), human figures (warriors, acrobats), and functional shapes (gourds, spouted vessels), often found in tombs and known for their rich mineral staining and hand-built techniques. These vessels offer insight into the daily life, beliefs, and artistic skill of the ancient Colima people, making them prized collectibles and important archaeological artifacts. This large redware vessel has weathering and visible mineral deposits obscuring much of the original reddish brown colouring. Weathering cracks noted on exterior surface. Spout/neck is 4.5" diameter. Weathering to surface appears consistent with age and use. Measures approximately 11"D x 14"W diameter. Weight is 10lb, 10oz.
