Daryl Candelaria is one of the few potters working at San Felipe Pueblo.  He studied both historic and contemporary pottery at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, NM.  This is a striking traditional design San Felipe water jar. The jar is coil-built and painted with red, tan, and dark brown clays.  The jar has plant designs around the neck.  Around the shoulder are larger plant, cloud, and rain designs.  Near the base are more traditional cloud and rain designs. The jar is large and fully designed.  It is signed, “Daryl Candelaria” on the bottom and it is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. The jar has two ribbons from the 1994 San Felipe Pueblo Arts and Crafts Show.  One is a blue ribbon 1st Prize, and the other is a Special Award ribbon.  Definitely, a creative jar inspired by the traditional designs of San Felipe Pueblo!
