7" x 5" each

$ 400.00

Sadie Adams is one of the great names in Hopi pottery throughout the 1900’s.  There was a creativity in her shapes and use of Hopi and Sikyatki designs.  As well, there was a wonderful perseverance in her work for nearly a century!  This is a pair of her tiles.  They are painted on the front with bee-weed and a red clay slip. The designs are cloud, rain and step patterns.  They are each traditionally fired.  They are sold as a pair, as only one of them is signed with her hallmark flower. However, it is easy to identify that they are both made by the same hand.  They are both in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  They are certainly a beautiful example of her pottery and painting skill.
