This bowl by Maria Martinez is very traditional piece of her early pottery. It was made and stone polished by Maria and then painted by her husband, Julian Martinez (1897-1943). The round shape of the bowl is one which Maria made throughout her career. The entire surface is fully polished, including the bottom. The design is a wave pattern with a series of lines encircling the piece. It is simple but works perfectly on this piece to emphasize the form. The bowl is fired a dark black coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Marie + Julian” on the bottom. The bowl is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
