INDIVIDUAL MATA ORTIZ POTTERY

Tavo Silveira

Tavo Silveira Huge Mata Ortiz Black on Black Sgraffito Masterpiece

Octavio (Tavo) Silveira is among the best known potters in Mata Ortiz. His variety of repertoire and color schemes - from deep reds to white slip polychromes - has made him a true favorite among collectors. He is also known for making stunningly simple and elegant, one-band on white designs, as well exceedingly sharply incised decorations in which the designs stand out in relief on the surface.

The present piece is huge, measuring a full 15.5 inches high and 9.5 inches in diameter and is stunning in its simplicity and elegance. It is the first olla of this kind made by Tavo. It is decorated with precicely executed carvings that are highly polished on a mat background that runs between the carved parts. It is signed by Tavo.
