Indian made pottery from Casas Grandes artist Mora. An absolutely radiant hand painted traditional Mata Ortiz designs seems to jump right off the smooth pottery walls.
These designs are made with no measurements and no sketches. There is an amazing quantity of fine hand painted detail. The smooth surface conceals the fact that the pot was hand coiled from natural clay without the aid of a potter’s wheel.
This pot is 5-1/4” tall, 6.25” wide with a 19.74” circumference and a 2-3/4” opening. Signed by Mora on the bottom of the pot.
The inspiration of Casa Grandes pottery is taken from Casa Grandes tradition. The renaissance of this beautiful pottery began in the early 1960s, 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, a new awareness developed. Technically and ascetically, Casa 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 hair brushes and natural pigments (minerals and roots of plants). It is hand-formed, without the user of a potter’s wheel and is dung fired. We are proud to offer these hand-etched, hand-coiled clay pots. Each intricate line has been handpainted into gorgeous clay by hand. Beautiful workmanship, high gloss, and stone polished finish.
