Ceramics

COSAS has one of the broadest collections of ceramics in the US. The majority of the pieces are primarily from Mexico. Our pottery and other clay folk art comes from almost every region of the country and represents almost every style. Each trip we take, we try to meet someone new and we enjoy bringing newly discovered artists works into our gallery. We have spent years developing relationships with many of these artisans and are proud of the unique pieces they make – only for COSAS.

All works are one of a kind…

All works are one of a kind and flaws are common in folk art. Due to the delicate nature of many of these works, we will recommend that we do not ship some of the featured items. We also have several other pieces in our store from each of these artists. If you are interested in seeing other pieces or sizes, please email us at cosas@cosasonline.com. Shipping costs not included.
