PAINTER NOT IDENTIFIED. Tonala workshops sign in a wide range of hands and the mark here is a short one, so the piece is offered on the work rather than a name.
Tonala burnishing is done with a stone before firing, which is why the surface has that soft sheen rather than a glassy glaze. The bird motif is the traditional one and it is nicely drawn here.

The estate service behind this shop
Every piece here came out of a real home. VaultXL is a full-service estate transition and downsizing company — we sort, value, photograph and sell household belongings when a family downsizes or an estate settles, then hand the property back broom-clean.
- Families keep 85% of every sale. Our 15% covers photography, research, listing, storage and buyer handling.
- Flat project fees from $350 for a single room to $4,500 for a whole home — quoted after a free assessment, never billed hourly.
- Jewelry, art, firearms and vehicles go to credentialed partner appraisers before anything is priced.
Serving Charlotte and the surrounding area. Other Carolinas metros are on a waitlist.
