Description

Javier Corona Mata Ortiz Pottery Jar – Hand Coiled & Painted

Signed by artist Javier Corona, this striking Mata Ortiz pottery jar is a fine example of hand-coiled craftsmanship and traditional Casas Grandes design. The piece features a warm red clay body with painted geometric motifs in black slip, displaying exceptional symmetry and precision. Its gently rounded form tilts forward on a separate pottery ring base, enhancing its sculptural presence. The smooth burnished surface and balanced patterning reflect the refined aesthetic for which Mata Ortiz ceramics are renowned.

An elegant and authentic piece that bridges modern artistry with centuries-old Paquimé pottery traditions—ideal for collectors of fine Mexican or Southwestern ceramics.
