Description: Untitled Document Gallery Store Corrugated Pottery This is a Mata Ortiz Hand Coil Pottery, a flat black vessel, with hundreds of tick marks, one row evenly formed and created on top of another row and on top of yet another. The final result is this overwhelming design called corrugation. This is a case the whole is definitely greater than its part. The nearly round pottery is finished with a delicate and fine neck and mouth. The master creator of this piece is Señor Fito Teña. Señor Teña began and has led movement of corrugated pottery. For its size this piece is heavy. It is durable and has been fired to last for generations. If you do not have money to spend or room for larger pottery, this may just be the answer. Weight - 11 ounces Width - 4 inches Height - 3.75 inches All my pieces includes a hand rolled pottery ring. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Mata Ortiz is legendary, both the village and the pottery taking its name. In the 70's a young man began experimenting with recreating ancient pottery he would come across. He used the same clay sand mixtures from materials found in the area in which the ancients lived and made their pottery. The same firing techniques using the same local materials eventually created the same magnificent results. Half a century later and much of the village of Mata Ortiz has taken on these incredible skills for creating masterpieces, with each artist contributing hers and his own sense of beauty. The designs are bold, earthy and individualistic. Paint brushes consisting of one or two human hairs create the finest lines. Images revealed through carvings are created by nearly microscopic sharpened points. Paints are developed from minerals found in the surrounding desert. Many colors are only revealed after intense firing at very high temperatures. These creations are truly unique transformations that only this small little region of the world can create from it's own soil. I have been tangentially around Mata Ortiz for 30 years. Now I am spiritually bound by their overwhelming beauty and intense and intricate designs. When I look at one of the pieces, I feel I am meeting in person the artists who created this, and am visiting their home. This pot is signed its creator, Fabian Ortiz. A search of his name will bring you to some fascinating pieces of his artistry. Please be sure to view a short video of this pottery.
