Legoria Tafoya Legoria was a sister of painter Pablita Velarde. She was the mother of noted potter Celes Tafoya. This oval bowl is coil-built and carved with cloud, rain, and lightning designs. Her carving style is a gentle relief in the clay. The surface is stone-polished, and it was traditionally fired black. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Legoria.” It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
