6.25"w x 5"h

$ 450.00

Calvin Analla learned to  make pottery from his sister, Yvonne Lucas and her husband, Steve Lucas.  This unique canteen is made from mixing two different types of clay together.  That creates the mottled appearance of the clay.  The canteen is thin walled and painted with two Laguan style birs.  They are separated by a round rising sun design.  In the center is a cloud pattern and it is painted with very fine lines!  The delicacy of his painting with bee-weed for the black is amazing.  It is a striking flow of design one one wide of the piece with lots of open areas where the mixed clays create cloud-like swirls.  The canteen is amazingly thin walled, which is typical of Calvin’s pottery.  It is signed on the bottom.
