Martha Appleleaf learned to make pottery from her mother, Carmelita Vigil Dunlap. Today she continues to create distinctive pottery with traditional designs.  This is a large coil-built wedding vase. The piece has a round body and elongated spouts.  It is painted with an avanyu encircling the body of the vase.  The spouts have cloud designs.  The piece was traditionally fired to a glassy black.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Marth Appleleaf”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
