Luis Ortiz Mata Ortiz Olla — Hand-Coiled, Hand-Painted
A striking Mata Ortiz pottery olla by Luis Ortiz, signed on the base. Hand-coiled and meticulously hand-painted, this vessel features a mottled clay surface with bold geometric patterns in black and red, accented by stylized bird motifs and circular star emblems around the shoulder. The olla’s rounded body rises to a flared rim, balancing strong traditional form with finely executed detail.
Luis Ortiz, part of the renowned Mata Ortiz pottery movement, carries forward the Casas Grandes (Paquimé) legacy while incorporating his own distinctive style. The marbled clay surface enhances the depth of the design, making this piece a vibrant example of contemporary Mata Ortiz artistry and a desirable addition for collectors.
