Mata Ortiz Pottery On line Gallery

Master potter Humberto Ponce created this spectacular  olla. Divided into five identical segments of incredibly detailed painting of contrasting red an black cuadritos forming stylized snakes. Notice the Native symbols that create the tails of the snakes.

A smaller, very similar olla by Humberto  & Blanca Ponce was featured in the exhibition presented at  the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe. (Exhibition Catalog, Crossing Borders Transcending Categories pg.37)

This elegant olla  is masterfully painted, has a superb form, and splendid stone burnished sheen....a wonderful piece!
