Chinana, Lorraine – 12″ Tall Storage Jar with Daisy Design (1994) Ribbon
13"w x 12"h
$ 2,800.00
Lorraine Chinana (b. 1955) began making pottery in 1981. She learned to make pottery from her grandmother Reyes S. Toya. This is one of the largest pieces we have had of her work. This large jar is coil-built from native clay. The neck and base are fully polished red. Around the body of the jar is her famous “daisy” design. It is a series of interlocking daisy petals encircling the piece. It is amazingly precise in detail and the round shape of the jar means there is a lot of volume to the piece. The volume then means more space for design work. The daisy are all stone polished and the coloration of the clay and the matte area etched away is striking! The jar is signed on the bottom, “Lorraine Chinana”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. There is a third-place ribbon from the 1994 Santa Fe Indian Market. The ribbon is signed by Dextra Quotskuyva and R. Pardington.
