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.

It is hand-formed, without the use of a potter's wheel, and is dung fired. Each intricate line has been hand-painted. Beautiful workmanship, high gloss, stone polished finish.
