This small bowl is deeply carved by Blue Corn.  Blue Corn began by making black-on-black pottery but it is her polychrome potter for which she is the most famous.  This bowl is carved with an avanyu encircling the piece.  The bowl is fully polished a white coloration and then painted with a black mineral slip.  The background is a slipped with a brown clay.  It was traditionally fired.  It is not often we see her carved work on such a small piece in various color.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Blue Corn”.  The bowl is in good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. “.
