​Barro  Petatillo  y  Petate  de  Palma

​Exhibition January 19th- April 30th 2016

Petatillo "Crosshatching" Pottery Jalisco, México

Petatillo was created in the early years of the 20th Century. Petatillo decoration refers to a crosshatched pattern of the lines and the background of the illustration. It was given its name as the design echoes the wave of straw in petates (straw mats). The pattern is applied after the main decoration of the piece, filling in the blank spaces and the design. The Lucano family has one of the strongest legacies in Mexican ceramics of the 20th century. Balbino Lucano is thought to perhaps be the originator of the petatillo decoration. The Lucano family is originally from Tonalá, but their pieces are often attributed to Tlaquepaque as they had a shop and sold there in 1906.

​Another maestro of the Petatillo pottery is José Bernabé who has been producing this technique for over 40 years in Tonalá.
The pieces of this collection are from the Lucano Family (ca.1930's-40's).
