This is a striking large polychrome jar by Blue Corn.  She is often best known for her polychrome pottery and her creative use of various clay slips on her pottery. She learned to make pottery from Maria Martinez at San Ildefonso.  This is one of her larger polychrome pieces that is fully polished in her classic grayish-white color.  Around the shoulder of the jar is her stylized avanyu  Around the neck are four large cloud designs.  The jar is painted with black, orange, white, and taupe clay colors making it a true polychrome (more than three colors).  The piece is striking in size and complexity of the design.  It is signed on the bottom “Blue Corn, San Ildefonso”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
