Description

Socorro Reyes Mata Ortiz Blackware Jar – Geometric Feather Design

Elegant blackware pottery jar signed Socorro Reyes, an accomplished artist of the celebrated Mata Ortiz pottery tradition of northern Mexico. Hand-coiled and stone-polished, the vessel features a fluid, rounded form with a softly flared neck. The surface displays a meticulously etched geometric feather pattern, creating a refined contrast between matte and glossy finishes.

Rooted in the Casas Grandes (Paquimé) ceramic heritage, this piece demonstrates the technical mastery and modern artistry for which Mata Ortiz pottery is prized worldwide. A beautiful example of contemporary Mexican fine pottery, ideal for collectors and decorative display.

Dimensions:
3.5" x 9" x 6.25" (Height x Width x Depth).
Please note: Soup can shown for scale in photos.

Condition:
Excellent overall, with only minor shelf wear noted. The polish remains rich and lustrous, and the etched designs are clean and precise. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed.
