- Lot Description
North America, Mexico, Oaxaca, Santa Maria Atzompa, ca. 19th century CE. A marvelous trio of hollow pottery candle holders, each boasting elaborate decoration and a rich emerald-hued glaze. Nearly identical in form, each of these beautiful candle holders presents a columnar body with a tall, tiered stem, a projecting knop, and a flared sconce over a deep basin for placing a candle, all supported by 3 feet and boasting relief decoration of grapes, flowers, and 3 saints. Perhaps slightly older than the others, one of the candle holders showcases additional applied clay decorations of leaves and floral motifs, as well as a coat of glaze on the interior of the sconce. These sizeable examples all possess magnificent presentations; sure to impress at your next dinner party! Size of each (all are relatively similar): 9.2" W x 16" H (23.4 cm x 40.6 cm)
Green glazed pottery, like these examples, are a traditional style of pottery that originates in the Oaxaca, Mexico town of Santa Maria Atzompa. While Atzompa's pottery tradition extends to the 7th century, the lead monoxide glaze that creates the vibrant green color was not introduced until after the Spanish conquest. Today, about 90% of the population of Atzompa is dedicated to making pottery, making it the basis of the town's economy.
Provenance: ex-private Moore collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired prior to 1990
