authentic Chulucanas pottery vessel handcrafted in northern Peru

The image confirms that this is an authentic Chulucanas pottery vessel handcrafted in northern Peru. The handwritten inscription etched into the polished dark slip on the bottom reads: "Hand Made In Chulucanas Peru" ® Details About Your Vessel • Origin: The town of Chulucanas in the Piura region of Peru, highly famous for its distinctive folk art ceramics. • The Technique: Artisans use pre-Inca Vicús and Tallán techniques. The characteristic smooth black-brown tone is achieved through a specialized reduction-firing process utilizing smoking mango tree leaves, which deposit carbon onto the clay. The Design: The warm, terracotta-orange patterns are created using a "positive/negative" liquid clay slip-resist technique before the firing process occurs. The Artist Signature There is a signature cursive inscription right above the words "Hand Made" The script is somewhat faint, but it appears to spell out "G. Ipanaque" or a similar name ending in "panaqué" (a very common, historic indigenous surname native to the Piura/Chulucanas region). Display Care • Decorative Use Only: Like almost all traditional Chulucanas earthenware, this piece is low-fired and not watertight. $50 OBO Please see my other listings Pick up in Lake Balboa near Sherman Way and Louise.
