Additional Information

The Maker

Tomas Lucano is the father of Balbino Lucano, and is considered as one of the pioneers of glazed pottery with artwork that included social realism, Aztec revival and the petatillo technique. The Lucano family opened their shop in 1906 and have passed down their art and techniques through generations. The shop is still owned by Balbino's daughter and husband, but only sell through the shop.

Art and Technique

The Petatillo technique is a revered form of Mexican ceramic decoration known for its intricate, lattice-like patterns that resemble a woven mat. Originating in the town of Tonalá, Jalisco, this style reflects a blend of indigenous and colonial artistic traditions. The name “Petatillo” comes from the Spanish word petate, referring to the woven mats that inspire the technique’s signature background design.
