📚 History & Fun Facts

Sugar skull motifs originated in Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, where hand-decorated skulls symbolize remembrance and joy rather than sorrow. In the 2000s–2010s, these motifs gained international popularity through home décor, tattoo, and graphic-design movements blending folk art and pop culture.
Spectrum Designs released several ceramic lines echoing this aesthetic—often highlighting floral, lace, and tattoo-style linework to honor life and creativity.
✨ A great conversation starter and collectible for fans of folk art and modern gothic design.
