Mata Ortiz Pottery Gabriela Corona Turtle Miniature Seed Pot Lid Mexico Ceramic

Mata Ortiz Pottery Artist: Gabriela Corona Hand Made - Rolled Coil & Pinch Method - Sanded Smooth - Then Hand Painted Hand Painted Etched This beautiful miniature seed pot with lid was totally handcrafted by Gabriela Corona. Gabriela's trademark is lids: she makes most of her seed pots with a lid. In this beautiful multi color piece she is showcasing the turtle both on the piece and on the lid. She will etch into the clay showing the white clay body. Gabriela lives in the village - pueblo of Mata Ortiz in Northern Mexico and comes from a long line of very talented potters. All pieces are totally hand made clear down to the gathering the clay - rinsing the clay to make useable - coil rolling the clay to start building the piece. Once piece is to that point then the potter starts the polishing getting ready for the hand painting. Even small pieces take a lot of time before the finished product is ready. All the potters are so very proud of their creations and rightfully so.
