Description
San Jose Art Pottery, Man on a Flower Boat (Xochimilco scene) tile, glazed ceramic, 7.75 x 7.75 x 0.5 in.
"San Jose" is used to include several makers of similar-looking art pottery and tiles made in San Antonio, Texas. The premier workshop was Mexican Arts and Crafts, which operated downtown on the banks of the San Antonio River from 1931-1941. Its founder, Ethel Wilson Harris, copyrighted a book of designs in 1937 and registered her characteristic "logo" -- a maguey cactus in full bloom. In 1941 the workshop changed its name to Mission Crafts when it moved to within the walls of Mission San Jose, where gifted artisans created tiles and pottery until 1977.
