WOW!  This is a spectacular large long neck water jar. It is one of the largest jars we have had by Grace Chino.  She was a daughter of noted potter Marie Z. Chino and a sister of noted potters Carrie Chino Charlie and Rose Chino. Over the years she won numerous awards for her pottery at Santa Fe Indian Market and her work was featured in the “7 Families in Pueblo Pottery” and in museums around the country.  This large jar is just black-on-white and has a round shoulder and elongated neck.  The piece is painted with an interlocking lightning design.  It is small at the neck and then larger at the shoulder.  The design perfectly fits the shape of the jar.  As the jar is turned, there is a constant flow of imagery.  The jar was traditionally fired so there is just a slight color variation.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed, “Grace Chino”.
