How
to make a Purchase
 Carlos
Carillo
and his wife, Lila Silveira, are
in their 20s but very accomplished for their age. Carlos was taught
the art of making fine Mata Ortiz
pottery by Lila and they often collaborate on pieces. The pot
is signed by the person who did the painting. They live in Barrio
Porvinor in the village of Mata Ortiz.
Carlos
and Lila are being personally mentored
by Juan Quezada which is rare
because Juan has rarely taken on students in the village.
Juan
regularly visits their home and instructs them in all aspects
of making Mata Ortiz pottery. He provides them with different
clays, paints and tools - including deer leg bone which is his
favorite for polishing. Carlos and Lila are considered rising
stars in the creation of premium Mata Ortiz pottery and collectors
are urged to buy their work now as they ascend under the tutelage
of Mata Ortiz's grandmaster, Juan Quezada. This beautiful pot
measures 9.5 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide. It has the finest
detail, shape and color. Your price $750
~ Item #MO110. Click
