Tonala Mexican Folk Art Pottery Triple Vase or Candleholder with Smiling Face sculptural vessel substantial sculptural presenceThis circa 1970s Mexican folk art triple vase or triple candleholder with the most beatific face I can imagine is unsigned, but comes I believe from the Tonala region in Jalisco and resembles the work of Carlos Villanueva. I love the handle for easy carrying from one spot to another, which only adds to the may the sunor moonshine on you wherever you go feeling of this piece. I think it would be especially great used as a bedside vase in a guest room,
