Did you know that there are over THIRTY SEVEN types of pineapples grown around the world?? And while the “Rubyglow” pineapple may be the RAREST pineapple (grown in Costa Rica) … THIS fantastic Michoacan pottery pineapple is definitely the COOLEST!!! That’s right, we have a marvelous overscale Michoacan green glazed clay pottery pineapple sculpture with a removeable crown lid, Made in Mexico in the style of Hilario Alejos Madrigal. Michoacan handcrafts & Folk Art is a Mexican regional tradition centered in the state of Michoacan which is located in central west Mexico. There are numerous pottery-making communities and often the entire family works at the craft preparing the clay before its molding. Hilario Alejos Madrigal is a famous pottery artisan from Michoacan known for his “pineapple” ceramic & pottery pieces. His version with the green glaze is best known and he has won several awards for his work which is also featured in a large reference book called Grandes Maestros del Arte Popular Mexicano by Fomento Cultural Banamex. Our pineapple is not signed; however, it is stamped “Made in Mexico” and it certainly resembles his phenomenal works and demands attention! At 32 inches tall including the crown and 17 inches in diameter, it will be a wonderful focal point on a tiki bar or table in the sunroom, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or on a column, buffet, sideboard, or sofa table in the living room among other tropical pieces or standing alone. You know, pineapples have been used as symbols of hospitality and welcoming for centuries and displaying a pineapple in your home was a sign of wealth & luxury. Let me tell you folks, this piece is just too DELICIOUS to last… It’s fun, fruity, and quite FABULOUS!! So, trust me, satisfy your pineapple pleasure with this SWEET TREAT… and make it YOURS!!!
