Any of Memo and Aracely Varela pieces of pottery are known for the elaborate details of the hand painted geometry, and the ancient Paquime shapes. This pottery is no exception.
The eye bending multi-colored patterns envelope the entire work. What this duo has done in evolving the art of their ancestors is beyond belief. Their elevation of the southwestern pottery culture has not been equaled.
Nearly every color glaze possible from the soil of Mata Ortiz is used. The entire pottery is bisected with a sash filled with a repeating link pattern. It is a kaleidoscope within earthen pottery.
The pricing of this pottery is based on the worldwide respect for these artists, the complexity of their designs, and the literal hours and hours of their time to conjure up this superior folk art.
I find the finest of the superb pieces through detailed examination and testing to assure they last for generations.
