Lonewolf, Rosemary “Apple Blossom” – Seedpot with Frog, Dragonfly, and Avanyu

This is a classic multi-color seedpot by Rosemary Lonewolf.  She learned to make pottery from her father, Joseph Lonewolf.  This piece is fully polished and on the top has a dragonfly and a frog.  The frog is highlighted in green while the dragonfly is highlighted with white clay.  The side has a stylized avanyu as the design.  Note in the background area how there are lots of tiny circles.  Rosemary said that it was very time consuming to make all the little circles!  All the various colors are different clay slips. which are added after the firing.  The seedpot is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Apple Blossom”.  While Rosemary no longer makes many traditional-style pieces of pottery, her miniatures remain a classic!
