A mid-century Mexican Patamban Michoacan Redware plate decorated with a green fish. Circa 1950
Patamban, a town in Michoacán, Mexico, is renowned for its distinctive redware pottery, a tradition rooted in pre-Hispanic times. The clay used is naturally red, giving each piece its characteristic warm tone. Artisans skilfully hand-shape and burnish the pottery, often decorating it with white slip or intricate incised designs.
Common forms include jugs, bowls, plates, and flower vases, which balance functionality with artistic expression. The pottery reflects a blend of indigenous heritage and regional creativity, passed down through generations. Today, Patamban redware remains an emblem of Michoacán's cultural identity, valued for its rustic elegance and enduring craftsmanship.
