Wings of Color Bowl

A masterclass in symmetry, color, and form, Wings of Color Bowl by Oscar Ramirez reimagines traditional Mata Ortiz pottery with a rare, flattened silhouette. Intricately hand-painted butterflies dance across the smooth beige surface, their wings layered with fine geometric patterns in black, green, red, and terracotta. At the center, a radiant starburst medallion anchors the design, adding both structure and symbolic depth. The low-profile form is not only visually striking but also technically demanding, requiring perfect control during shaping and firing. Ramirez’s attention to balance and spacing ensures that each butterfly feels both alive and in motion. Crackled texture across the surface lends an aged, organic beauty, giving the piece a timeless presence.
