Jesus Peña Mata Ortiz Blackware Pot – Hand-Coiled, Signed, 11"
Hand-coiled and painted by Jesús Peña, this signed blackware pottery vessel from Mata Ortiz, Mexico, features intricate geometric and avian motifs in a bold black-on-black finish. Crafted entirely by hand using traditional methods—without a wheel or industrial kiln—it exemplifies the signature style of the Mata Ortiz ceramic movement, celebrated for its precision, symmetry, and cultural lineage rooted in ancient Casas Grandes pottery. This substantial pot has a highly burnished surface with expertly painted detail. The artist’s signature is inscribed on the base. A Campbell’s soup can is shown for scale.
