Description

THIS IS AN OLD ESTATE FRESH ROBERTO BANUELOS GEOMETRIC POTTERY POT 7.5" DIAM 6" T  MATA ORTIZ.  A FINE EXAMPLE FROM ONE OF THE FOREMOST POTTERS OF THE LATE 1900'S.  BEAUTIFUL BASE COLOR WITH FREEHAND GEOMETRICS ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE.
Roberto Bañuelos works with his wife Angela. She forms, sands and polishes the pots that Roberto then paints and fires. Following local tradition, as the painter Roberto signs all the pots.
In making their pots, Angela uses yellow, red, black, white and mixed colors of clay. In applying his designs, Roberto often begins by splattering drops of a particular color across the vessel and letting that dry, then painting his interpretations of Geometric Designs, Mimbres fish, rabbits, feathers, lizards and miscellaneous fantasy creatures across the surface. He also often adds a necklace of Paquimé geometric designs around the opening.
Roberto and Angela learned to make pottery in 1988, learning from two of Angela's sisters: Rosa Irene and Gloria Isela Lopez. Both women are in-laws of
Reynaldo Quezada
and they learned from him.
POT STANDS 6" TALL AND IS ABOUT 7.75" ACROSS AT THE CENTER ON A ROUNDED BOTTOM.  NICE OLD HAND THROWN FORM IN A GOOD SOFT FINISH.  It does seem to have a slight Cigar smell to it as though maybe there were some stored in the pot, just so you know.
