Captivating from every view, the complex design and pattern of this lovely pot by Sofia de Tekio is a beautiful example of the striking pottery of Mata Ortiz.

The revitalization of Mata Ortiz into a pottery center is good story. In the 60‘s and 70‘s, with only tribal stories to go on and rediscovered pottery artifacts from the ancient Casa Grandes Pueblo archeological ruins, Juan Quezada resurrected the style and ancient techniques of his ancestors pottery. In the process he rescued a village on the cusp of obscurity and put it on a creative trajectory that has now become a thriving pottery district known for the production of original, contemporary folk pottery.
