Does Aztec Do Some Art Work On Ceramics?

Yes ceramics reflect Aztec art. Aztec people made a number of useful and traditional items from clay such as dishes, vessels that are used on any ceremony, burners, funerary urns and spindle coils (whorls). Huge burners used for cooking were around more than 3 to 4 feet high with a shape in high relief on one side or a decoration of a shelf. Special glasses for serving on feasts for drinking pulque were also made of clay. A wonderful piece of work of Aztec art was found in Tlatelolco i.e. a clay vase placed on three twisted cylinder legs.

The Mexico valley ceramics are divided into 9 different wares depending on clay color, pot form and its decoration. A wonderful ceramics produced by Aztec art is Vessel with Tlaloc mask.
