Hand-Painted Mexican Folk Art Decorative Plate

This is a circular decorative ceramic plate featuring a vibrant, hand-painted folk art scene, likely of Mexican origin (Guerrero or similar region). The piece is approximately 10 to 12 inches in diameter and is executed on a clay or earthenware body. The design depicts a celebratory village scene with numerous figures in traditional attire dancing outdoors beneath a celestial sky featuring a radiant sun and white stars. Below the dancers, a row of colorful, stylized houses with gabled roofs anchors the composition. The artwork is characterized by bold primary colors, thick black outlines, and a high-gloss glazed finish. A wide, solid turquoise-blue border frames the central narrative. Notable features include the intricate, naive style of the human figures and the use of white 'cloud' motifs at the upper corners. The condition appears excellent with a high-luster glaze, no visible cracks or chips from the front, and uniform color saturation. The craftsmanship displays the charming, non-perspectival style typical of regional artisanal cooperatives from the mid-to-late 20th century.
