Small Face Cup

This piece is the work of Sara Garcia Mendoza, a talented artisan in her own right and the youngest daughter of the famed Maestro Jose Garcia Antonio and Maestra Teresita Mendoza Reyna Sanchez. Their family studio Taller Manos Que Ven ("Hands That See") located in Oaxaca, is one of the most famous and beloved ceramic folk art studios in Mexico. 

About Tallar Manos Que Ven

Over two decades ago, Maestro Jose Garcia lost his vision to glaucoma. He now makes large-scale forms from memory and imagination and his wife finishes the details. Many of their pieces are sea themed and showcase indigenous people in traditional clothing. His wife is his greatest love and muse and many of his pieces feature her face, complete with the mole on her forehead. Their adult children and grandchildren also work as pottery artisans in the studio, each interpreting the family's themes through their own distinct style.

Each cup is approximately 2" tall and 2.5" wide and signed by the artist.
