<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Margaretriquet, post: 9512162, member: 82344&quot;]I&#039;m familiar with the R. Galvan pottery signature. I&#039;ve researched it, and I&#039;d like to offer a few counterpoints to what you&#039;ve said.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, you say R. Galvan pottery is usually a copy of Acoma and other southwest Indian pottery styles? This is true, but it&#039;s not the whole story. R. Galvan&#039;s pottery also includes various designs, including some that are original to the artist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think the original &quot;made in Mexico&quot; is as rare as you say. I&#039;ve seen several R. Galvan pots with the sticker still attached.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s important to note that Mata Ortiz pottery is not the only type made by hand and fired outdoors. There are many other regions in Mexico where pottery is made this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>What about the fact that it&#039;s not necessarily a sign that the pottery is fake? I really think the artist used different signatures over time or that other people were responsible for signing the pots...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Margaret[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
