This is an exceptional miniature by Jeff Roller.  He creates exceptional traditional pottery.  Not only is there remarkable attention to the crisp carved lines in his work, but an evenness to his stone-polished surfaces. Add to that his distinctive sculptural additions to his pottery, and he creates something unique in Santa Clara pottery.  This is one of his classic designs in miniature!  The jar is coil-built, carved, and stone-polished.  The jar has carved mountains and rain designs.  The entire jar is fully polished.  The lid is a Big Horn Sheep.  It is carved into the clay and depicted in a lying down position.  The lid is matte and fits perfectly into the jar.  The piece was fired a deep black coloration.  It is stunning in person!  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jeff Roller”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
