Naranjo, Marian Rose & Ernest – Small Jar with Stylized Double Avanyu (1970s)

2.25"w x 1.25"h

$ 250.00

Marian Naranjo worked with her husband, Ernest Naranjo, in the early 1970s.  She would make and polish the pottery while he would etch the designs.  Later, she would work in the 1980s with Kevin Naranjo and continue in a similar style of teamwork.  This is one of her classic shapes with a wide shoulder and sloping neck. The jar is very thin-walled.  It is fully polished and fired black.  The top is etched with a stylized avanyu.  The bottom is etched with swirling water designs.  It is a bit more deeply etched than many of their pieces, which makes the design more dramatic.  After it was fired, it was two-toned sienna but a more subtle coloration.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Marian Rose”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
