This is a classic wide polychrome jar by Blue Corn.  Blue Corn began by making black-on-black pottery, but it is her polychrome pottery that makes her the most famous.  This jar has a wide, sharp shoulder and a sloping neck.  The piece is polished with a white clay slip and then painted.  The piece has 48 thin feathers as the design around the neck of the jar.  The ends of the feathers (near the rim) are painted with green clay.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Blue Corn”.  It was originally purchased in the 1980s.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
