Artist Tomasa Mora has hand crafted this lovely and graceful pottery. With a rounded form, long neck and wide mouth, the style reflects tradition from one thousand years ago to her Paquime ancestors. They lived in the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua Mexico. And, Ms. Mora has added some curved lines adding a contemporary feel. The glaze is stone rubbed to produce the black mirror finish. This is the deepest, richest shined black glaze found. The designs are heavy in geometric influences and stand out due to the finesse given in combining a matte finish with a mirrored finish. The collar is a band of design known as a 'tick' pattern. It is elegant and beautiful. Do not put water in this pottery.
Artist Tomasa Mora signs her work on the bottom of this Matte & Mirror Black Mata Ortiz Pottery.
