Mata Ortiz Polychrome Marbleized Clay Olla by Paty Ortiz, measures 9.5''H x 7.5''W, spectacular Paquime inspired designs, featuring both geometric and abstract designs, flared rim, by renowned Mata Ortiz artist, Paty Ortiz de Santillan is a Mata Ortiz potter who learned to create pottery from her father, Salvador Ortiz, one of the original innovators of the Porvenir style. ''Paty uses only barro mezclado (mixed clay) for her pots and paint designs inspired by Paquime motifs. Her ollas are much like those made by Pilo Mora in that they are light in weight and well formed. She is an excellent potter and has recently taught her husband to polish, sand, and fire. They live Southwest of Macario Ortiz in Barrio Porvenir.'' ''The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz'' Rio Nuevo Publishers, AZ, 1999
