This is a charming contemporary jar by Linda Cain. She is a daughter of Mary Cain and the mother of Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts.  This detailed jar is carved with dragonflies and flowers. The dragonflies are slipped with mica while the flowers, extending up from the base, are polished.  The leaves of the flowers are also carved and then polished. The background area of the jar is painted with acrylic to create the blue dots of the sky.  They add a wonderfully modern aspect to this jar. The rim is also slipped with mica.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
