Grace Medicine Flower began her career making miniature pottery with incised designs.  This is a miniature long neck jar.  The jar has a medallion with an etched MImbres inspired Big Horn Sheep.  The remainder is fully polished.  The piece is from 1989. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Grace M. F.”.  It is a piece of history in miniature.

When the pottery comes out the way she should, it’s always the Clay Lady. She’s the one who’s giving you all this. She’s a piece of clay in your hands that you were blessed with. For all the years I’ve been potting it’s taught me patience. If it brakes in the fire, then there’s next time. Have patience, enjoy what you are doing, and really, really talk to the Clay Lady. Like my dad said, prayers and patience.”  Grace Medicine Flower, Spoken Through Clay
