Guadalupe Melendez

Songbirds Among Berries

$120.00

Songbirds Among Berries by Guadalupe Melendez is a celebration of color, life, and nature’s quiet harmony. This petite Mata Ortiz vase features two beautifully etched birds—one in vivid red, the other in bold blue—perched along a berry-laden branch. The fine linework brings texture and movement to each feather and leaf, while the natural clay background allows the hand-painted pigments to stand out in a gentle, storybook palette.
The symmetry of the composition, along with its joyful subject matter, makes this piece especially inviting. Despite its modest size, the detail and craftsmanship elevate it into a collectible piece of folk art that pairs seamlessly with both rustic and contemporary interiors.
