This is a classic polychrome water 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 jar has a low shoulder and an elongated neck.  The jar is polished cream-colored.  Along the neck, there are 24 painted feathers  Each is black with a dark brown clay tip extending up the neck.  Around the lower area of the jar is a band of taupe-colored clay.  The jar has four different colors of clay, making it a true polychrome (more than three colors).  It was traditionally fired.  The jar is signed on the bottom “Blue Corn, San Ildefonso”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
