I bought the blue Tonala ceramic owl and it’s absolutely charming. The craftsmanship is evident – the glaze work is beautiful and the weight feels substantial. It’s smaller than I expected at about 7.5 inches tall, but perfect for my shelf display. The earthy tones really pop. While not cheap, the quality justifies the price. Reminds me of the eternal city’s artisan markets.
