$ 175.00

Jackie Shutiva-Hista (b. 1961) is a daughter of noted potter Stella Shutiva.  She learned to make pottery from her mother who was known for her corrugated pottery. This water jar is fully corrugated, which simply means that the coils are left exposed and they are pressed down using a tool or the potter’s finger.  Jackie typically uses her finger to impress the clay, creating this stylistic appearance.  Her mother’s corrugated style of pottery was inspired by pre-historic style corrugated vessels.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “J. Shutiva”.
