Rare opportunity to obtain one of Oraliz Lopez's highly-sought after and usually unavailable pots. She is one of the most highly regarded of the second generation potters in Mata Ortiz and her work has been featured on the cover of the book 'The Artistry and History of Mata Ortiz'. Pot is hand-coiled and hand-painted with amazing detail. I acquired this pot directly from the artist on a visit to the village in 2010. Item has been stored in a glass cabinet in a smoke-free home since tha...t time. Starting bid is low for the caliber of the work as there are some specks in the finish of the pot that are extremely hard to see; these were most likely acquired during the firing process (see arrows on pictures of examples of these). Unless you know these are there you would not see them and they do not distract from the beauty of the work. 7 1/2" high by 6" wide. Balance ring will be included.
