Analla, Calvin – Jar with Fineline Rain and Plant Designs

5.5"w x 6.25"h

$ 900.00

Calvin Analla learned to  make pottery from his sister, Yvonne Lucas and her husband, Steve Lucas.  This jar is thin walled and made with the traditional red clay from Laguna Pueblo. The jar is painted with bee-weed, into which he has mixed some mica.  The mica makes reflections in the clay.  Calvin is known for his very delicately painted designs and here the lines for the “rain” are stunning!  They are thin and evenly spaced.  The center of the jar has a plant pattern and the base has additional cloud and rain designs.  The shape, design and thin walls all work perfectly on this jar.  It is signed on the bottom.
