Socorro Reyes Mata Ortiz Blackware Jar – Two-Tone Geometric Design
Signed blackware pottery jar by Socorro Reyes, an accomplished artist of the Mata Ortiz pottery tradition of northern Mexico. Hand-sculpted, coiled, and painted, the vessel features a broad, rounded shoulder with a softly flared rim. The surface is intricately decorated with a complex two-tone geometric design—featuring stepped, wave, and triangular motifs—rendered in contrasting matte and polished finishes. Subtle reddish undertones beneath the glossy black surface highlight the skillful firing and finishing techniques distinctive to the Casas Grandes region. A striking example of contemporary Mata Ortiz craftsmanship, this piece reflects the continuation of ancient Paquimé ceramic heritage through modern artistry and precision.
Dimensions:
7" x 8.5" diameter.
Please note: Soup can shown for scale in photos.
Condition:
Good overall, showing light scuffing and shelf wear consistent with age and display. The surface retains a strong polish and vivid contrast between matte and glossy areas. No cracks or repairs observed.
