Black on Black Mata Ortiz Pottery

Black on Black Pottery was made famous by Maria Martinez and her husband. They developed a special technique that would allow for areas of the pottery to have a matte finish and other areas to be a glossy jet black. Black on Black Mata Ortiz Pottery has become increasingly more collectible and difficult to find as both artists have passed away.

"Black on Black" refers to the highly burnished black pottery that the artists of Mata Ortiz create when they fire their pottery without oxygen. Black On Black Mata Ortiz Potteryy also comes from Santa Clara and San Ildefonso, which are found along the Rio Grande River north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
