tlaquepaque tile mural

Hi Karen,

I do a little ceramic repair as a sideline and have had a repeat customer
who specifically collects old Tlaquepaque pieces (I've worked on a couple of
them). I don't know this guy well, but have the general impression that
he'd be honest in giving an opinion of value.

You may be able to come up with the name of a professional appraiser from
someone on Clayart, but if not, and if you'd like to contact this guy, let
me know.

I have a small tile mural that is
from the 1930-40's. The mural is a group
of 9 tiles, each tile is 6x6x1/2 inches,
so the total dimension is 18x18 inches square.
I believe the tiles are Tlaquepaque,
from Jalisco Mexico.
I am interested in getting the mural
appraised. The question is...does
anyone on the list know of a reputable
appraiser of Mexican folk art.
I could send an attachment of the
mural individually.
I am in need of help....
Many thanks
