To quote Susan Lowell in her book, "The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz", "Nicolas has always pushed the envelope of design, size, and shape for his pots". Susan comments on his design: "his long curving lines that flow from rim to base in sweeping arcs of elegance. He refers to these as calles, or roads, that one must follow to create a work of art. Nicolas is especially proud of what he calls his "coffee" clay. The potter never knows for sure what the final color will be until after the firing. This "grande" pot is 11" tall, 27 3/4" in circumference, with an opening of 4 1/4". This pot  is a museum quality work of art and would sell for $1200+ in a major gallery.
