Whitegeese, Daryl – 14″ Wide Shoulder Red Jar with Storm Designs
$ 3,600.00
WOW! This is an impressive wide shoulder jar by Daryl Whitegeese. He is known for his use of traditional Santa Clara shapes and designs. This wide shape is one that his mother, LuAnn Tafoya, has made famous. For Daryl, he said that only one piece this shape and size would survive the firing out of five! The jar has a wide shoulder and it is fully polished a very deep red. The design is a storm pattern, with clouds, rain, and lightning designs. Typically for his work, the edges are very sharp and create a strong contrast to the matte slipped background. The jar has been traditionally fired to give it a deep, red coloration. The shape and polish work perfectly to reflect the light. Daryl has won numerous awards for his pottery, including “Best of Pottery” at the 2015 Heard Indian Market.’ The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Daryl Whitegeese”.

This is an impressive wide shoulder jar by Daryl Whitegeese. He is known for his use of traditional Santa Clara shapes and designs. This wide shape is one which his mother, LuAnn Tafoya has made famous. I didn’t think I had seen a piece this shape by Daryl before and when I asked him he said he had made three of them, but the other two didn’t survive the firing! The jar has a wide shoulder and it is fully polished a very deep red. The design is a storm pattern, with clouds, rain and lightning designs. Typically for his work, the edges are very sharp and create a strong contrast to the matte slipped background. The jar has been traditionally fired to give it a deep, red coloration. It was a difficult piece to photograph, so some of the lines you see on the rim in white are just reflection. The shape and polish work perfectly to reflect the light. Daryl has won numerous awards for his pottery including “Best of Pottery” at the 2015 Heard Indian Market.’ The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
