Mata Ortiz Pottery is a recreation of the Mogollon pottery style found at the historical sites of Casas Grandes in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. This ancient cultural tradition has traveled to us through the past by way of archaeological reclamation. Artists today have sought to recapture the beauty of this pottery and have developed that into the Mata Ortiz pottery style.This style looks to not just recreate the aesthetics of the past, but to re-establish a bond to cultural traditions almost lost to time. The Paquime pottery style could have been a mystery lost to the vast depths of history and time, but thanks to the work of dedicated artists and artistic researchers, it has been revived in our modern time.Our art gallery specializes in this particular style of pottery. We have pieces for sale from new artists and the established masters of the form. Our effort as a gallery looks to celebrate this artwork and help educate people about its rich traditions.
