$ 700.00

This is a classic polychrome jar by Blue Corn.  Blue Corn began by making black-on-black pottery, but it is her polychrome pottery that makes her the most famous.  This jar is polished with a white clay slip and then painted.  The piece has 21 feathers as the design around the neck of the jar.  The ends of the feathers (near the rim) are painted with green clay. There is a cloud design highlighted with red and green clays.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Blue Corn”.  It was originally purchased in the 1980s.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
