This tall jar by Alice Cling has a high round shoulder and an elongated neck.  This jar is fully polished red and then fired outdoors.  The jar has a deep color from the smoke and fire.   The colors on this piece vary from black to deep red.  The jar was covered in pinon-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when the pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof. Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and has been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”
