What is Casas Grandes Pottery, and why is it so popular?
Casas Grandes Pottery was first produced about 1,000 years ago in an area of Northern Mexico called Paquime. At first the pots were crude but evolved through trade with other cultures. The Paquime culture peaked sometime in the 13th or 14th century and then disappeared for reasons that remain unknown.
The art of Casas Grandes Pottery was just recently revived 50 years ago or so by a young man who grew up near the Paquime ruins. That young man, now world renowned, Juan Quezada, worked tirelessly to not only bring back the art, but to "take it to new heights". He shared his technique with friends and family until the art of making pottery became a cottage industry for his village.
These artisans, inspired by the environment including bird and leaf patterns, each signs their name on the handcrafted pottery as was the custom initiated by Juan Quezada. This pottery is a revival of the 14th century craft and is an affordable art that you now own and cherish.
Here was are in the 21st Century selling articles that are a revival of 14th Century crafts, and there is a tremendous market. Just like handweavings, handcrafted pottery is another art that people cherish and want to preserve.

Casas Grandes Pottery
These internationally famous pots from the central region of Chihuahua are individually handmade by descendants of the original Casas Grandes potters from 700 to 1000 years ago. In this same region, many old pots were dug up with these same designs. The pots are build, painted and fired in the old way, and are featured by many museums and galleries as some of the finest pottery made today.
Mata Ortiz Pottery
Juan Quezada, now world renowned, worked tirelessly for many years to bring back Casa Grandes and Mata Ortiz Style Pottery and to take the are to new heights. He shared his techniques with his family and friends until the revival of pottery making became an industry for his village. This "industry" required a market. Members of the Quezada family brought truck load after truck load of their work to El Paso Saddleblanket Company.
While museums and galleries clamored for the pieces signed by Juan himself, El Paso Saddleblanket provided an outlet for tens of thousands of pots produced by aspiring artists.
