Frederica Antonio calls this shape of a bowl with the inturned rim, an “Infinity Rim”.  This bowl is coil-built and as she is building it she turns the rim down into the bowl. The result is a striking appearance with the feel of the designs flowing into the piece.  She uses a series of fine vertical and horizontal lines which are then filled in to create larger images in the squares.  The bowl has alternating rows of color or black to create her signature “sunset” design. The dramatic part of the bowl is the black-and-white inturned rim, which is the dusk overtaking the sunset.  The bowl is large and striking in color and detail.  The rounded “infinity rim” is fully painted and interestingly, Frederica said that she has to use a different yucca brush for the inturned part of the rim because of the angle of the painting.  The base of the jar is concave, reminiscent of historic Acoma jars that were carried on the head.  This combination of thin walls, classic shape, and tightly painted design creates a visually stunning piece!  The jar is signed on the bottom, “F. V.  Antonio”.
