This jar by Maria Martinez is a very traditional piece of her early pottery. It was made and stone polished by Maria and then painted by her husband, Julian Martinez (1897-1943). The jar is a classic shape with a sharp shoulder and sloping side. The jar is painted with a series of seed (the two half circles) with leaves. It is a very striking design and classic for San Ildefonso. The jar was fired to a silvery black coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Marie + Julian” on the bottom. The bowl is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
