About the Item

This striking hand-sculpted ceramic pitcher was created by Rolando Regino Porras, son of the renowned Oaxacan ceramicist Dolores Porras, whose legacy has profoundly shaped the region’s folk art traditions. Each face adorning the vessel is meticulously modeled by hand, giving the piece a rhythmic texture and a sense of collective expression. The artist uses natural, organic pigments to paint the flowing black hair and warm terracotta-toned faces, resulting in a surface that feels both alive and deeply rooted in Oaxacan aesthetic heritage. The glossy finish enhances the sculptural details and brings out the subtle variations in tone and texture. This work embodies the continuation of a family tradition that merges indigenous techniques, surreal form, and personal symbolism—a true testament to the living legacy of Oaxaca’s ceramic artistry.
