Our Guarantee
- Our Mata Ortiz pots are individually signed by their artist(s).
- The pots are pieces of fine art. They are never intended for food or drink usages of any kind. Each pot is a unique decorative ceramic art décor.
- Each pot is hand crafted, never machine made, and as such, is never perfect which is part of their uniqueness. They are one of a kind.
- Should the buyer wish to return a pot because of our neglect or omission, we will refund 100% of the purchase price plus return shipping, repacking, insurance when returned via the delivering carrier so long as it is returned in the condition it was shipped. If it arrives at the destination damaged, we require a picture(s) of the damaged pot. Pictures of all pots are taken and maintained prior to their shipment. If a pot is returned for any other reason, a restocking charge of 18% is assessed plus all shipping, repackaging and insurance charges.

- There have been some questions about possible breakage when shipping from Mexico and U.S. Custom’s search. All packages are subject to Custom search.
- We point to MATA ORTIZ CALENDAR OF EVENTS by Spencer and Emalie MacCallum: Yes, it is possible to safely ship a pot from Mexico. Part of the secret is double-boxing. Another part is not packing the wadding too tightly; the pot and the inner box want to have some give. A physicist once explained the dynamics of breakage. It's not the first hit that breaks something when it falls to the floor; on the first hit, the pot or whatever it is only bounces. It's the vibration that the bounce sets up; in conjunction with the second strike that is the killer. So, to damp all the vibration, we loosely fill the pot itself with the paper wadding or popcorn, and then we pack the wadding lightly enough around the pot and around the inner box that the pot and box can move just a bit. We wrap the pot itself in a plastic bag to protect the painted design or burnished surface from chafing in transit.
