This tall jar by Alice Cling has a high shoulder and an elongated neck. The shape is one of her iconic forms with a gentle gradation from shoulder to neck. The jar is highly polished and stunning with variations in color from the traditional firing.  The colors range from deep red to black.  The piece was covered in pinon-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pinon-pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof. Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and has been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
