$ 900.00
Polly Rose Folwell is a daughter of Jody Folwell and a sister of Susan Folwell. She is known for their use of classic designs on her traditional-inspired Santa Clara pottery. This tall jar is coil-built and thin-walled. It is fully polished and has a tall shape and asymmetric “cloud” rim. The jar has a mesa design around the shoulder. Below are bird, Mesa, lightning, and cloud designs. They are both lightly and deeply etched into the clay. Look more closely and there are the “x’s”, which typically represent stars and are often seen on the Folwell family pottery. It was fired a reddish-brown coloration, which is striking in person. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Polly Rose”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
