This is a new jar by Jeff Roller.  He creates exceptional traditional pottery, and there is remarkable attention to the crisp carved lines in his work as well as an evenness to his stone-polished surfaces.  This jar is coil-built from native clay and has a storage jar shape. The jar has a round shape. The piece is deeply carved with clouds around its neck.  They are both polished and matte.  Around the shoulder are carved mountains. They are also matte in contrast to the remainder of the polished. bowl.  The carving on the bowl is precise and even.  As always, it has a high stone polish.  The jar was fired to a spectacular brown coloration. The colors range from deep, chocolate brown to black.  Beautiful!  The coloration and the polish on this piece are exceptional and draw the eye across the surface.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jeff Roller”, 2024.
