    ABOUT MATA ORTIZ POTTERY.
    Mata Ortiz is a small village in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, and is in close proximity to an important archaeological site, Casas Grandes (Paquimé), famed for its ancient and unique pottery produced by Paquimé indians and dating to ca1400.  The regional clay and method of producing these unique pots was recreated by Juan Quezada in the early 1970s, and today about 400 residents in Mata Ortiz village who have learned the very specialized Casas Grandes potting technique produce a limited quantity of these unique pieces within the confines of their homes.  Each design is unique, original, reflective of the individual potter, and the limited number of pots produced are highly collectible.
    The beautiful and unique Mata Ortiz pot provided here celebrates the MONARCH butterfly, which overwinters by the millions in mountainous regions several hundred miles south of Mata Ortiz. This pot was
    designed
    , hand-created without a potter's wheel, and hand-painted by the accomplished and well-known Mata Ortiz artist, Lupita Mora in 2010 (signature and date on bottom of pot).
    This pot has been in its original package for nearly a decade, and a special ring is included that allows this attractive, original and one-of-a-kind pot to be safely displayed and appreciated in home or office.
    Perhaps an ideal and timely gift for someone special?
