Blue Corn is certainly one of the most creative potters of her time with a varied used of clays and firing techniques to create her distinctive pottery.  This bowl is fully polished red.  It is painted with black and white clays.  The bowl has 30 feathers encircling the piece.  It brings to mind the historic “black-on-red” pottery from San Ildefonso of the late 1800s.  The bowl was traditionally fired and it is signed in the clay on the bottom, “Blue Corn”.   The bowl is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
