This is an exceptional miniature by Autumn Borts.  She is known for her often fanciful carved pottery and use of unique shapes.  The bowl is very deeply carved with traditional Santa Clara designs.  Rain clouds, lightning and wind designs extend from the neck to the base is a flowing pattern.  Note her use of the negative space to create these very intricate designs!  It is amazing she could carve so deep and with complex lines on a piece so small! It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Autumn Borts”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
