Guadalupe Melendez

Cardinal Bloom Vase

$120.00

Cardinal Bloom Vase by Guadalupe Melendez is a delicate yet vibrant tribute to nature, rendered in the signature Mata Ortiz tradition. A crimson cardinal perches gracefully on a blooming branch, surrounded by hand-etched floral textures and soft, rounded foliage in earthy reds and greens. Every line and feather is carved and painted with meticulous care, giving the piece a gentle, storybook quality without sacrificing the refinement of fine ceramic work.
The compact oval form makes it easy to display, while the harmony of color and composition gives it a calming, visual rhythm. This piece celebrates not just the beauty of wildlife but also the enduring artistry of northern Mexico’s ceramic revival movement.
