Suazo, Ron – Black and Sienna Jar with Bear Paws and Turquoise (1990s)
4"w x 2.5"h
$ 400.00
Ron Suazo learned to make pottery from his mother, Clara Suazo. His sister is Margaret Garcia. He said of his work, “As a result of studying both traditional and early designs, my decision was to create my own style, yet include a combination of both, with feather designs, bear paws, and early designs with inlaid turquoise and coral stones on both completely polished black pots, and on matte finish pottery.”. This jar has a wide shoulder and asymmetric opening. The entire piece is fully polished. There is a feather medallion on the front. It is two-toned sienna. There are bear paws across the entire surface but two have inset pieces of turquoise. There is an additional piece of turquoise in the center of the feathers. The piece was fired a glassy black and the stones were added after firing. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Ron Suazo”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
