Any of Memo and Aracely Valera 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 diamond pattern envelopes the entire work. Nearly every color glaze possible from the soil of Mata Ortiz is used. The entire pottery is wrapped with turquoise lines. Designs extend back a thousand years. It very much is like looking into a kaleidoscope when admiring their works. Memo and Aracely were recently honored with a first place ribbon at the Concurso de Ceramica in Mexico City.
The pricing of this pottery is based on the worldwide demand for these artists works, the complexity of their designs, and the immense hours of their time to conjure up this superior folk art.
