Lonnie Vigil is known for his creative use of micaceous clay and is one of a handful of potters from Nambe pueblo.  He has taken this style of pottery and transformed it from utilitarian into fine art.  This is an early piece of his pottery that is stone polished.  It is painted around the rim with two avanyu.  The clay used to paint the designs has just a bit of mica. It is a great coloration!  The bowl is signed on the bottom, “Lonnie Vigil”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
