$ 300.00

This jar by Alice Cling has high tall shoulders and a slight neck.  The entire jar is highly polished red. It is then outdoor fired and the stunning variation in the color are from the smoke and fire.   The colorations on the jar are striking with a deep black/blue area on one side and a very deep red on the other. The coloration as the jar is turned it exceptional.   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.”
