Hilario Quezada

Echoes in Clay Vase

$450.00

Bold lines meet natural forms in Echoes in Clay, a striking ceramic by master potter Hilario Quezada. Two stylized birds perch quietly among green foliage, etched with careful strokes into a warm-toned clay body. The composition is framed within a geometric medallion, giving the piece both symmetry and a strong architectural presence.
Around the shoulder and sides, deep red and black motifs echo ancient Paquimé designs — layered arrows, chevrons, and linear patterns that seamlessly blend with the organic subject matter. What makes this piece stand out is the tension between curve and edge, nature and symbol — a hallmark of Quezada’s ability to balance technical mastery with cultural storytelling.
