INDIVIDUAL MATA ORTIZ POTTERY

Nicolas Quezada Famous Mata Ortiz Pottery Olla

Nicolas Quezada is Juan Quezada's brother an arguably among the top four potters in Mata Ortiz. He has an unending enthusiasm for working with the clay, and his inventiveness and innovation are literally unparalleled. His designs are pure elegance. He paints long, sharp, curving lines and bands on pottery whose color comes from special combinations of different clays that Nicolas has introduced. Nicolas is discussed on pages 160-163 of the book The Many faces of Mata Ortiz.

The olli shown here is just another example of his love of pottery. This is one of the pieces of pottery that made Mata Ortiz and Nicolas famous. It is an olli that is hard to get these days and one that would enhance any collection of Mata Ortiz pottery. This is a true work of art by an indisputable master.
