Casa Grande Polychrome Pot, Hand Formed, Artist Signed
$95.00
Lovers of Native American Pueblo Pottery and Artwork, take a look at this unique Casa Grandes (Mata Ortiz) pot.
This beautiful pot features the red clay, thin walled structure and polychrome motif that is typical of pieces from this pueblo. It is signed Jose luis Tena, though I could not find this specific artist, there is a large Tena family of potters living in Casa Grandes. I believe, based on this evidence that this beautiful pot is a nice Casa Grandes piece. Likely dating from the 1970's, this pot was hand formed. Potters working in the Casa Grandes pueblo gather the clay for their pieces from within the pueblo. The pieces are hand formed, coiled and smoothed by hand with water, pottery wheels are not used by these artists. This piece has a matching collar stand which supports the pot for display, it stands approx. 5 3/4 inches tall from the base of the collar stand to the lip of the bowl, it is approx. 6 inches wide at the widest point of the body. The external diameter of the lip is 3 1/4 inches, the base diameter of the collar stand is approx. 4 1/8 inches. There are no chips, cracks or repairs, some minimal paint loss and wear appropriate for age and use. Please carefully refer to photo's for full perspective
The individual artists of Casa Grandes are identified by their neighborhood or barrio in the village and the style of their work is often influenced by the designs passed down within the family. As with the Pueblo Indians traditions are honored and considered to be important.
As with all hand formed clay pots, this piece cannot be use to hold water.
