I recently bought a Mata Ortiz pot with a snake and hummingbird design, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. The detail in the sgraffito carvings is amazing—the snake looks like it’s actually slithering up the pot, and the hummingbird with the flowers on the other side is so delicately etched. The black and beige colors give it a sophisticated look that goes well with my other decor. It’s a unique piece that stands out without being overwhelming. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I ordered a Mata Ortiz pot with a snake and hummingbird theme, and it’s truly a work of art. The pot has a wonderful balance between the dynamic movement of the snake and the graceful beauty of the hummingbird. I really like the way the pot captures both energy and elegance. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because I wish it was a bit larger. Otherwise, it’s an excellent piece that adds a touch of character to my living room.

This Mata Ortiz pot with a snake and hummingbird design exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the details are stunning. I love how the snake slides upward, with its head sticking out above the rim—it gives the pot a unique 3D effect. The opposite side with the hummingbird and flowers is equally beautiful. The color combination of black and beige makes it versatile for any setting. I’ve already received compliments from my guests, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, handmade pot.
