Mexican or South American pottery?

Hello! Any ideas of what this could be? date? Thank you!

 

Hi
If you still have the ability to change the title, put Mexican or South American pottery.
We're looking for @Taupou to look in.

@daveydempsey
This should probably be in Pottery.

 

I changed it! Thxs

 

Now we wait to see if someone knows.
Hopefully Taupou will look in. Very knowledgeable.

Be sure to come back tomorrow and check who might answer late tonight.
Welcome to the boards.

 

I think Cusco from Peru. You don't usually see the geometrics combined with a human figure like that but it looks right otherwise.

 

Brad nailed it! Cusco pottery from Peru.

 

It is from Peru, inspired by pre-Columbian Nazca pottery, with a bit of Moche thrown in. Although it is often sold as Cusco/Cuzco pottery, it is not made in Cuzco, but in the coastal plain of Peru.
Nazca and Moche (Mochica, Chimu) were coastal cultures, and like other coastal Peruvian cultures, they made better pottery than the Inca/Qechua of Cuzco. And like other coastal Peruvian cultures, they made a lot of pottery with human figures.
Pre-Columbian Nazca:


Pre-Columbian Moche:


Cuzco is the ancient capital of the Incas, now a beautiful colonial style town in the Andes. It is a prime tourist destination in Peru, start of the Inca Trail. Nowadays you can find tourist items from all over Peru in Cuzco, which is probably why many people associate this Nazca pottery with Cuzco.
Cuzco does make its own ceramics in typical Andean baroque style:

And inspired by pre-Columbian and traditional textiles:

 

Thank you so much!

 

Pleasure!
I grew up with pre-Columbian pottery, that helps.
And I have a soft spot for Peruvians and their culture in general. Would have loved to live in Cuzco, if it wasn't so .... cold.

 

Sorry to ask you but do you know what would be the value of this piece? Thank you again!!

 

Sorry, I know they cost next to nothing in the 70s, but don't know anything about current prices.
Try googling Nazca pottery replica or Moche pottery replica. Good luck!

 

Yes, 100% Peru Cuzco no prehispanic, middle late s.xx
