• This pottery is called Casas Grandes for the area once occupied by an ancient culture and subsequently named by the Spaniards.  This area extends from Northwest Mexico into Arizona and New Mexico - these pots are from the Mexican section of that region.  The ancient potter mined his own clay, painted with local minerals and plants, and created these pots without a potters wheel or a kiln.  These pots are not prehistoric nor contemporary - testing indicates that they date from the 1800s .
