This an unsual jar by Alice Cling.  Alice Cling is one of the great names in the revival of Navajo pottery in the 1980s. This jar is coil built, stone polished, and traditionally fired.  The jar itself has an elongated neck and a sharp shoulder.  There are two handles that extend from the rim to the top of the shoulder.  The traditional firing creates color variations from black to deep red.  The jar was covered in pinon-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when the pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Alice Cling”.  Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and has been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”
