Guadalupe Ortiz was the husband of noted potter Seferina Ortiz and the father of Virgil, Joyce, Janice, and Inez Ortiz.  He learned to make pottery from Seferina and his work has a whimsical charm.  This is one of the few lizards we have had by Guadalupe.  It is slipped white and then painted with wild spinach (black) and traditionally fired.  They are simple with a folk-art look, yet they certainly evoke a smile!  It is signed, “G. Ortiz”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
