Vintage Puerto Rican Art Pottery Bowl with Coquí Frog – Hand-Made, Amber Glaze
$69.00 USD
Handcrafted vintage art pottery bowl made in Puerto Rico, featuring a hidden coquí frog molded into the interior base. The coquí is an iconic national symbol of Puerto Rico, often incorporated discreetly into mid-century island pottery as a cultural signature.
This piece displays a rich amber-brown volcanic glaze with high gloss and strong depth, accentuating the raised exterior relief pattern. The underside is hand-inscribed “Made in Puerto Rico,” consistent with mid-20th-century studio and souvenir pottery produced by small workshops across the island.
Likely dating to the 1950s–1980s, this bowl was handmade rather than factory-produced, giving it natural variation in glaze flow and form. No two examples are exactly alike.
Ideal as a decorative accent, small planter, or collector piece for Caribbean, tropical, or folk art pottery collections.
