Hello! I’m so excited to be part of this network! My name is Ruth Guajardo and I live in San Antonio, Texas. I am not new at selling, my husband and partner, have owned a gift shop and gallery since 2001 called El Sol Studios. We are both Artists and makers, and of course collectors. We have However downsized and partnered with my BFF who also owned a shop as long as me and went in together instead and opened a space that holds both stores (Pulquerios/El Sol Studios. We have always had an insatiable interest in Vintage and unique finds, but our focus had been in Mexican Folk art, handmade and cultural gifts, jewelry and more, until recently. We just started adding a lot more Vintage, unique, quirky finds and we are just thrilled to join the fun online! I hope you like the treasures we offer, whether vintage or handmade by us. Please reach out with any questions!

Mata Ortiz Blackware Pottery Vase Geometric Black-on-Black Vintage Pueblo Pot

This listing is for this stunning piece of vintage Pueblo pottery crafted by hand in Mexico. The vase features a black-on-black design, common in Mata Ortiz pottery, which often employs geometric motifs and a round bottom. This technique involves a glossy black ground with matte black designs. Mata Ortiz pottery is a contemporary recreation of ancient Paquimé (Casas Grandes) ceramics and is known for its intricate designs and high quality. It is in good vintage condition. No nicks or cracks, but has some surface wear and scuffing, consistent with age. It has a faint signature on the bottom, but can’t really make up a name (see photos). Please view all of the photos for overall condition. I try to describe my items as much as possible and photos are a big part or the description, including measurements not included in description. I would be happy to combine shipping if ordered at the same time. Overages over $3 will be refunded. Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
