#3038 A Mata Ortiz style Handmade ceramic Pottery vase with geometric Etched And painted designs.

5 x 3.5” Great condition Mata Ortiz pottery is a contemporary style of pottery produced in the village of Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. This style is a revival and evolution of the ancient Paquimé (Casas Grandes) culture, which flourished in the region centuries ago. Potters in Mata Ortiz have developed unique techniques, often using traditional methods and local clay, to create highly artistic and collectible pieces, frequently featuring intricate geometric designs and narrative imagery. Peruvian and Mexican pottery, particularly that inspired by Inca and pre-Inca cultures, also features distinctive geometric patterns and often uses natural earth tones. These pieces can range from functional ceramics to highly decorative art objects, reflecting a rich cultural heritage. The style of geometric decoration on this vase, with its repeating motifs and color palette, aligns with both Mexican folk art traditions and certain Peruvian indigenous art styles.
