$ 875.00

Hubert Candelario is one of the few potters from San Felipe Pueblo.  He has been known for his micaceous pottery for over thirty years.  This is an interesting and creative departure in his  work. It is a smaller piece with a single dragonfly cut through the clay. There are numerous other holes of various sizes also cut through.  The departure is the surface. Instead of a rough surface the surface has been burnished. The mica can still be seen and catches the light, but the surface is smooth. Looking inside and the rougher texture of the mica is visible.  The polishing has given the piece a bit darker coloration.  This is a new piece is from 2018 and an exciting variation on his style and designs. It is signed on the bottom.
