Description: Mata Ortiz potter, Norma Lopez, created this eye-dazzling polychrome geometric design olla. It measures 6" tall with a 19.5" girth. The artist created this piece August 2003. This comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, dated 12.01.2003. Mata Ortiz pottery is considered one of the finest ceramics in the world. It is the result of the cultural heritage of the Pre-Columbian culture of Casas Grandes, also known as Paquimé, and the efforts of Juan Quezada Celado, the man who made possible the "Miracle of Mata Ortiz" by recovering ancient lost pottery techniques and sharing his knowledge with the people of his hometown in Chihuahua, México. This created a true renaissance of ceramics in the southwest and transformed the remote rural Mexican town of Mata Ortiz into a Pottery artists village.
