Cling, Alice – Jar with Asymmetrical Rim

4"w x 6.25"h

$ 225.00

This jar by Alice Cling has a narrow base and has an asymmetrical rim. The idea is that the rim looks like the mountains and mesas in the Southwest.  This jar is fully polished red and then fired outdoors.  The striking variation in the color are from the smoke and fire.   The colors on this piece are extraordinary as there are areas which range from red to black.  The piece was covered in pine-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pitch was used to make the pottery water proof. Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”
