Sometimes when hunting for great old Mexican Silver you run into a lesser known artist's treasure like this one I am listing today. The red poured glass bordered with beading is striking.

A pottery jar glazed with a green lead glaze. Half of it is still green while the other half has oxidized to a silvery iridescent color. The variance in color is due to how the piece was buried and the effect of moisture getting under the surface of the glaze and "lifting" it to give it the pearl-like sheen. We've nicknamed this the Yin-Yang jar because of its unusual natural patterning. What makes this unique is its beautiful silvery- gold iridescence. Period: Han Dynasty - 1st Century AD...
