The second features a more elaborate geometric feather-inspired design with triangular and curving motifs and measures approximately 4" wide x 4" tall with a 1.5" opening. Both have rounded forms with short flared necks and make an attractive pair for a collection of Mata Ortiz pottery, Mexican folk art, Southwestern pottery, or signed studio ceramics.
