About the work
Curationist Object Description
This jar was produced in Mexico and is made of a tin-glazed earthenware like that of Spanish majolica. At one time this jar probably held cacao beans that were most likely grown in Mesoamerica and exported to Europe and beyond. Its decoration further demonstrates the influence of European colonial powers and the cultures where they traded. The jar takes on the blue-and-white style popularized in ceramics from China.
