Rosalie and Joe Aguilar created some exceptional plates during their brief career working together.  This bowl is one that was made, carved and polished by Rosalie.  The bowl has a bird and bird wing pattern on each side of the piece.  It has the “cameo” style of carving which was typical at San Ildefonso in the 1930’s.  It is an unusual design and surprisingly complex.  The sharp edge designs are always technically more difficult to create than the rounded ones.  The bowl is in good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  There are some very light surface scratches.  It is signed, “Rosalie” on the bottom in the clay.
