How to make a Purchase

Paty Ortiz de Santillan is a Mata Ortiz potter who learned to create pottery from her father, Salvador Ortiz, one of the original innovators of the Porvenir style.

"Paty uses only barro mezclado (mixed clay) for her pots and paint designs inspired by Paquime motifs. Her ollas are much like those made by Pilo Mora in that they are light in weight and well formed. She is an excellent potter and has recently taught her husband to polish, sand, and fire. They live Southwest of Macario Ortiz in Barrio Porvenir."   "The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz" Rio Nuevo Publishers, AZ, 1999

The top vase at left measures 7.25 inches tall (on stand) by 4.5 inches wide and is perfect. The shape, execution of design, creativity - all absolutely perfect and a lizard design on the bottom plus a custom clay ring stand. This is a absolutely worthy of any collection - very tempting for our own so it may disappear suddenly. Item #MO115 ~ Your price $425. Click here to see an enlargement. SOLD
