This bowl is one of the few deep-carved pieces 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 coil-built, carved, polished, painted, and traditionally fired. There is an avanyu carved into the clay encircling the piece. The background area that is carved away is slipped with tan clay.  The bowl was fired red and there are color variations on the surface that give the subtle appearance of it being more than one color!  The base is polished red.  The bowl was traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Blue Corn” and is from the early 1970s.  The bowl is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. “.
