Owner description:
Since 2000 this ceramic gallery at the airport of Puerto Vallarta exhibits and sale The exquisite Mata Ortiz Pottery, the finest in Mexico and possibly in the world. Inspired by the ancient pre-hispanic culture of Paquimé, with the hands only and in open fires, their designs are innovative and have developed their own distinctive styles. Also the amazing Mata Ortiz Jewelry in .950 silver. With this new unique gallery ambitious owners Claudia Lovera and Alejandro Martinez are working hard to be one of the most important Galleries in Mexico specialized in Ceramics, they have been expanding to new incredible visions of Mexican expressions now with their New Artists Gustavo Pérez that had exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City, Mariana Velazquez, Cristina Riveroll and more.
