Start Your Art Collection With Pre-Columbian Pottery

January 20, 2014

There's an old saying, "Buy art you love and surround yourself with it!" An art collection can be anything from paintings to pottery as well as actual antiques; however the flair with which you display your collectibles can elevate it from everyday home accent into a showpiece! A unique Pre-Columbian Pot looks great in a China Cabinet but it can take on a life of its own when displayed on a pedestal and lighted to its best advantage.

Pre-Columbian Pottery is a highly developed form of creative expression in South and Central America that began in the fourteenth century. The potters here are well known for their excellent clay work and each artisan works in small family groups to learn their art as a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The actual function of these small pots is temporary household storage, however throughout the years these practical pots and their unique designs have also become fine pieces of art. You'll find that our selection of pots includes numerous shapes, sizes and artistic designs. Any of our highly-detailed and artistic Pre-Columbian Pots are sure be a welcome addition to your home's interior design – whether Mexican or Southwestern-inspired.

You'll be happy to learn that La Fuente is dedicated to the preservation of Mexico's rich cultural heritage through display of the country's most creative cottage arts. We work directly with the artisans in their small towns and villages, hand-selecting each unique piece to ensure the highest possible quality for our customers. In this way, we are endorsing the Mexican workmanship, tradition, and folklore of more than 1200 families and 21 ethnic groups who strive for a better way of living by sharing their art with the rest of the world. With every product you purchase from us, you help guarantee the income of Mexican families who work hard to have a better life.
