Artist N. Andrew Hernandez is the genius behind this pottery. As with all pottery coming out of the artist colony of Mata Ortiz, this is handmade without the use of a potters wheel. There is a 'Mushroom' window at the top. These opening were common in the ancient pueblos of the Mata Ortiz area. On a hand smoothed surface, Señor Hernandez uses two shades of glaze, and good amount of time and ingenuity, to create this beautiful folk art. Artist Hernandez abilities in pottery design are known far and wide. This piece is wonderful and intense with its bold use of the contrasting glazes. The designs are sharp and flawless.
