Tse-Pe Gonzales and his wife, Dora, began working together around 1971. Dora would make the pottery and Tse-Pe would etch the designs. This jar is a classic piece of their pottery. The jar has their classic shape with a sharp shoulder and elongated neck. The entire piece is fully polished. There is an avanyu etched into the clay around the neck of the jar. The piece has a two-toned rim. There is a single inset piece of turquoise above the avanyu. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay “Tse-Pe and Dora”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. Tse-Pe and Dora worked individually from 1980 to 2000, but their early collaborative work remains innovative, creative, and of the highest quality, even compared to many of today’s potters.
