Description

Socorro Reyes Mata Ortiz Blackware Pot – Geometric Design

Elegant hand-built blackware pottery vase by Socorro Reyes, a contemporary Mata Ortiz / Casas Grandes potter from Chihuahua, Mexico. This finely crafted piece features a polished black surface with contrasting matte geometric patterns, including stepped and lightning motifs, characteristic of the region’s revival pottery movement inspired by ancient Paquimé ceramics. The vessel’s squared form with softly rounded shoulders and a flared rim reflects precise symmetry and refined craftsmanship. Signed “Socorro Reyes” on the underside.

A striking example of modern Mata Ortiz artistry, blending traditional techniques with bold visual design — a desirable addition for collectors of fine Southwestern and Mexican ceramics.

Condition

Good overall, with shelf wear visible on the underside. The surface retains a glossy sheen with crisp matte design work; no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.

Dimensions:
5 x 4.25 x 4.25 inches (Height x Width x Depth).
