"Conchita" Red and Ivory Glazed Clay Pineapple | Mansion Iturbe Artisans Collection

The warmth of glazed clay in its most classic expression.

This 23 cm Glazed Clay Pineapple is a piece that pays homage to the nature of the Sierra Purépecha. Crafted by artisan Doña Luz, it stands out for its vibrant deep red color, an emblematic tone of the pottery from San José de Gracia, Michoacán.

The piece uses the "conchita" or pastillaje technique, where each scale is hand-molded and outlined with an ivory tone edge to create a rhythmic and defined contrast. Unlike other models, the plume of this work is decorated with small clay pineapples, reinforcing its organic identity and its link to the region's forested landscape.
