Colima is famous for having produced superb
burnished ceramics in brilliant orange-red slip.
The art of making a bowl such as this one
requires talent, experience and a refined
appreciation for structural form. The sides of the
vessel expand beyond the base, then narrow to
the rim, which is a near perfect circle. There is
sense of absolute balance and harmony
beautifully contained within itself, like a natural
product of the earth. Its beauty lies in its
unadorned simplicity; unassuming yet
sophisticated, elemental yet profound, with a
very gentle human touch.
