    Vintage Heron Martinez Mendoza HMM
    Turtles
    Candelabra with Small Matching Turtles Figurine. This is a very rare and beautiful piece of authentic Mexican folk art pottery! The candelabra is a large turtle covered with 10 smaller turtles on its back, 2 turtles on the handle and holds 3 candles. It measures approximately 10" high, 9" side to side (foot to foot) and 13-1/4" front to back (nose to tail). It weighs approximately 6.13 pounds.
    The smaller matching figurine is of 2 stacked turtles. It measures approximately 3-3/4" high, 3-1/2" side to side and 5-3/8" front to back. Both pieces show some age related signs of wear. On the large turtle
    there are some spots where the paint/stain has rubbed or flaked off
    and the tail has a light chip on the end (see last pic). A couple of the smaller turtles came off and were reattached. The smaller 2 turtle figurine also has some spots where the paint/stain has flaked off and a couple very small chips on the toes. Overall both are in really great condition. I have about 26 pictures in total, showing more detail, and I'm happy to email all of them to anyone interested.
