White Lace Form

With its fluid contours and lace-like surface, this ceramic vase by Efren Quezada blends tradition and innovation into a form that feels both ancient and contemporary. Delicately hand-painted in a warm brown over an off-white body, the surface is divided into soft, curving panels — each filled with detailed geometric grids and linear borders that resemble woven textile patterns. The matte black accents at the base and rim ground the piece in bold contrast, giving the design its striking visual rhythm. What sets this work apart is the precision of its brushwork and its uninterrupted symmetry — hallmarks of the Mata Ortiz ceramic tradition. Its stylized form and subtle tonal palette make it both a statement piece and a timeless collectible.
