Stunning Mata Ortiz Pottery Lizard Jar by Rito Talavera, features 3-Dimensional Textured Lizard curled around jar, embellished with matte on black geometric lines and designs, measures 8'' x 11'' and is signed on the bottom, highly burnished, truly a beautiful piece, FYI: ''Rito Talavera is the husband of Lydia Quezada, the youngest of Juan Quezada's siblings, and considered by many to be one of, if not THE most talented of her famous family. Sadly, Rito Talavera, lost his eyesight recently, and Lydia continues to struggle with problems with her own eyesight. The painting of Mata Ortiz pottery is quite difficult on the eyes, and many of the original potters have stopped actively producing artwork as a result. Both are featured prominently in the authoritative book The Many faces of Mata Ortiz. .''
