Casa Grande Pottery, more accurately known as Casas Grandes pottery (from the Spanish for "Great Houses"), refers to a distinctive style of Native American ceramics originating from the ancient Paquimé (also called Casas Grandes) archaeological site in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, near the modern town of Mata Ortiz. This pottery is renowned for its intricate polychrome designs—featuring three or more colors like black, red, tan, and white—which set it apart from the typically bichrome (two-color) ceramics of the broader Southwest region. These pieces often include geometric patterns, symbolic motifs (such as ball players or smokers), and occasionally figurative elements, reflecting a sophisticated cultural and artistic tradition.
