El Palomar Ken Edwards 60s Luncheon 8" Plates Mexico Cobalt Rabbit (8)

Description

Unlike the 70s- look El Palomar pottery we often see ( paisley-esque florals and birds in grey-blue/green/taupe tones) , these earlier plates exhibit simple, stark cobalt blue handpainting on the signature grey-hued stoneware. Each features a central visual of a hare, surrounded by simple, almost Quimper-like patterning.
Each is marked El Palomar, and many also bear an animal icon signifying the specific artisan who crafted them. Most likely 1960s era, these collectible pieces can be used as table ware or simply displayed.
However you choose to incorporate them, these handpainted collectors items will be a stunning addition to your rustic, Mission, Spanish or provincial home.
Here's some info from the Ken Edwards ("El Palomar") home page: "Ken Edwards was born in the USA, educated in the Arts in Kansas City, Missouri and studied his art in Japan .... In the 1960's Ken Edwards migrated to the crafts village of Tonala, in Central Mexico, where he founded the company known as Ken Edwards Stoneware....
This LEAD FREE, high temperature stoneware is microwave safe, freezer safe, oven safe, dishwasher safe, and a pleasure to use at the dining table. Each piece is hand glazed by an apprentice of Mr. Edwards, always working by an open window, and always in natural light."
