This hand-coiled black-on-buff geometric olla by Juan Quezada Celado features an elegant rounded form decorated with precise stepped and square-grid motifs. The pattern wraps seamlessly around the vessel in a rhythmic, interlocking design that showcases Quezada’s exceptional brush control and mastery of geometric abstraction.

Viewed from above, the design transitions into a concentric radiating motif, a hallmark of Quezada’s most intricate work. The surface is stone-burnished to a soft sheen, enhancing the clarity of the black pigment against the warm buff clay body.

The signature is placed discreetly inside the neck ring to avoid interrupting the geometric design on the base. A strong and visually refined example of Quezada’s mature style. Signed.
