Grace Medicine Flower began her career making miniature pottery with incised designs.  This bowl is from 1989, at the height of when she was carving into the rim of her pottery.  It was also a very brief period when she used clay slips of various colors for her pottery.  This one has white and blue additional colors added to the birds.  Grace said that Joseph Lonewolf (her brother) gave her the clay colors and then when she ran out she didn’t get any more.  This bowl has three medallions with hummingbirds and medicine flowers.  The rim is carved as are various other sections of the bowl  It is very highly polished and fired a deep red.  It is certainly one of her classics and in a smaller size!  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Grace Medicine Flower”.  It is in perfect condition and just stunning in person!
