Mata Ortiz Pottery Martha Hernandez Turtle Cactus Hummingbird Design Folk Art

Mata Ortiz Pottery Artist: Martha Hernandez - First Generation Hand Made - Rolled Coil & Pinch Method - Sanded Smooth - Then Hand Painted Hand Painted A beautiful turtle with a bright cactus and hummingbird on the back of the turtle. This precious piece is made by Martha Hernandez. Pretty multi color piece. 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. Piece Is 1-Inch-Tall x 4 Inches In Length - 3 Inches Wide I personally hand selected this gorgeous olla from the artist. Our goal is to help the wonderful people of Mata Ortiz have a venue that allows the potters to share their fabulous pieces to the world. New - Never Displayed Piece. Piece will be boxed, and bubble wrapped and then put into another box with additional packing materials for very safe shipping to the piece new home and owner.
