Coriz, Arthur & Hilda – Small Open Bowl with Mountain Designs (1970s)
$ 125.00
This is a small bowl by Arthur and Hilda Coriz. Hilda would coil build each piece and then they would be painted by Arthur. The painting was done with natural clay slips (white and red) and then wild spinach (black). It has a classic mountain design on the inside of the bowl. There is a “spirit line” or break in the painted design on the rim, which then extends down through the entire design! This goes back to historic Kewa pottery when the artist would use the spirit line to release their spirit or connection from the vessel. The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay. The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is not often that we see their pottery. The piece was originally purchased from Dick Howard in the 1970s and the “135” on the bottom was his inventory number. Shipping included.
