Mata Ortiz Pottery by Lupe Soto—Lizard Motif, Marbled Clay, 5.5" Diameter
This finely crafted Mata Ortiz pottery vessel is attributed to Lupe Soto, a noted artisan of the Casas Grandes tradition. The piece features a rounded, low-profile form and is decorated with bold, hand-painted lizard motifs in black and red across a subtly marbled clay surface.
Soto’s signature style—combining precise linework with lively, stylized animal figures—is evident throughout. Though unsigned, the quality of execution and decorative rhythm are consistent with her known works. The marbled finish adds visual richness, achieved through careful blending and polishing of natural clays.
A superb example of contemporary Mata Ortiz ceramics, this vessel bridges ancient techniques with modern artistry and makes a striking display piece for collectors of Southwestern or Mexican folk art.
