Description

Lucy Mora de Bugarini Mata Ortiz Pottery Jar – Hand Coiled & Painted

A finely crafted Mata Ortiz pottery jar, hand-coiled and hand-painted by Lucy Mora de Bugarini, a recognized artist of the celebrated Mata Ortiz tradition of Chihuahua, Mexico. This signed vessel features bold aquatic motifs, with stylized fish and geometric patterns painted in black over warm terracotta, highlighted with white dotted accents. The wide-shouldered form and textured rim add visual depth and showcase Lucy Mora’s technical skill and artistic flair.

Lucy Mora de Bugarini is widely collected and known for her large-scale ollas decorated with fish, birds, and insects, continuing the revival of ancient Paquimé ceramic traditions. This piece stands as both an artistic statement and a collectible example of contemporary Mata Ortiz pottery.
