Grace Chino 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.  One of her most famous patters was the design on this seedpot.  It is a lightning design surrounded by a red rectangular pattern.  It is an early “op-art” style with the pattern going from small to large and then small again.  This piece is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Grace Chino”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It comes to us from the collection of Richard Spivey.
