Hi Christina,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Colorful ceramic vessels such as this vase, or bowls or other decorative household accessories, are Mexican or Central American tourist pieces, made for the export market in the indigenous traditions using enamel on redware and then fired. The label underneath may mean that this was made in a shop owned by a man named "Marcelo Salvador (Bernal)", though an internet search isn't turning anything up. The term "Ensenada" - written in ink across the side - possibly refers to where it was purchased.

Though this is a very charming vase, at just 6 inches tall, this has a very nominal value: $20-30.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
