In the once forgotten village of Mata Ortiz in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, a renaissance of native ceramic arts continues to flourish under the leadership and guidance of Juan Quezada, the founder of the Mata Ortiz pottery movement. Over 400 potters in this village of 2000 produce world class art equal or superior to any native pottery made anywhere in the world. The potters hand form the pots using the pinch method without benefit of a potters wheel, from clay they mine in the foothills above the village, using paint they make from minerals and plants found in the area and then they fire the pots in the open without benefit of a kiln. Each month I spend several days in the village with the very talented and wonderful people reviewing over a thousand pots to find just those few that meet my standards of the highest quality in pottery in every price range from beautiful seedpots and ollitas to the finest museum quality pots. I want to find the perfect pot for the 7th grader in Madison, Wisconsin as well as the serious collector in San Francisco. (Perhaps my insistence on high quality accounts for my being the largest seller on the internet of Mata Ortiz pottery for the 5th straight year.) You don't have to go to a store to buy a Dell computer and you don't have to go to a pricey US gallery to buy a top quality Mata Ortiz pot...review my current auctions and the top quality Mata Ortiz pottery in my expanded eBay Store.
