The stunning colours of this decorative vase are achieved by pulverizing rocks to obtain natural pigments that are mixed with water and then set on the vase with the help of traditional wood-burning brick kilns. Costa Rica's Nury Marchena masters the ancient Chorotega pottery technique and crafts a lovely ceramic vase featuring abstract motifs as well as a pair of toucans perching on a tree branch.

"Absolutely perfect !"
Exactly as pictured, stunningly beautiful and an unusual color (green), out-of-the-ordinary and exactly what I wanted. Very well made,. I wish all these lovely vases were slightly larger (8-11 inches tall), for better display visibility. But even at 4-5 inches, a lovely work of art to be proud of owning and to cherish. Highest praise to the artist !!
