Black on Black Mata Ortiz Hand Coiled Indian Pottery.

Fine pottery such as this is distinguished by its beauty and balance. This is one of the best pots we've ever carried, but because of the small, barely noticable scratch on the side, we can offer a great bargain. This Black on Black Traditional Design pot is of prime quality with delicately hand coiled walls and hand stone polished to a high shine. This is an excellent piece of art with its hand painted checker design completely surrounding the walls. This is an addition to your collection of which to be proud. It stands ~8-3/4" tall and ~7-1/2" wide. Created by a Native American artist.

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 Mata Ortiz, painted with human hairbrushes 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, black on black, clay pot. Each intricate line has been hand-painted into gorgeous clay by hand. Beautiful workmanship, high gloss, and stone polished finish.
