Mata Ortiz Hand Coiled Indian
Dazzler Pottery. Imaginative and creative. Amazing fine line
details, an artistic wonder. This hand coiled, hand painted and
hand fired Casas Grandes pot is a unique and traditional design.
Hand painted traditional geometric designs seem to almost jump
off of the polished pottery walls. This pot is ~7-7/8" tall and
~6" wide. Signed Manuel Olivas. Painting is still widely used to
decorate pots in the Southwest. Potters make no measurements or
sketches but paint designs free-hand. This pot has a mind
boggling amount of fine line free hand detail. The Inspiration of
Casas Grandes pottery is taken from Casas Grandes tradition. The
renaissance of this beautiful pottery began in the early 1960's,
following the Amerind Foundation's excavation of the nearby
Paquime ruins in 1958. Until that time, there was little
interest in the antiquities of the area, but after the
excavation, however, an new awareness developed. Technically and
aesthetically, Casas Grandes pottery equals or surpasses the
work of the Indian potters of the American Southwest. It is made
with clay from the mountains high above the village of MataOrtiz,
painted with human hair brushes and natural pigments (minerals
and roots of plants). It is hand-formed, without the use of a
potter's wheel, and is dung fired. For centuries, the Indian
peoples of the Southwest have fashioned pots from the native
clay and baked them beneath the fiery desert sun. Today, we are
proud to offer you this hand-coiled, clay pot. Each intricate
line has been hand-painted into gorgeous clay by hand. Beautiful
workmanship and stone polished finish. a
