This is a beautiful piece of Mata Ortiz pottery from the well known and highly respected potter Gerardo Tena. I bought the piece in 2000 from a gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is 8.0" tall and 6.75" wide. It is well signed, as can be seen on the last photograph. The piece is in great condition. It has only been on display in a glass enclosed case, out of sunlight, since I bought it. There is a wonderful write-up on Mr. Tena in the well known Mata Ortiz book "The Many Facies of Mata Ortiz". He started potting in the late 1980's from his mother and has become one of the most respected potters in Mata Ortiz. Mr. Tena is a highly detail potter and his work is extremely fine!
