Vintage Mendez Ruiz Unglazed Ceramic Teapot 13" Tall featuring Aztec God Signed

This listing describes a Vintage Mendez Ruiz Teapot, featuring a unique design inspired by Aztec mythology. The teapot is made from unglazed ceramic, with a glazed interior. It stands at 12-1/2 inches tall, measured to the top of the lid, and is approximately 9-1/2 inches wide at its broadest point. The piece is handmade, and the signs of its crafting are evident in the inconsistent finish, a hallmark of artisanal work. The teapot is signed at the bottom by the maker, adding to its authenticity and collectible value.

The teapot’s unglazed exterior gives it a natural, earthy texture but also means there are some scuffs and marks due to the nature of the material. These imperfections contribute to the teapot's vintage charm and emphasize its handmade quality. The Aztec god design suggests that the teapot is likely influenced by Mesoamerican art, making it not only a functional piece but also a work of cultural and artistic significance.
