Tina Diaz is a daughter of Mary Cain and a sister of noted potters Joy, Linda and Billy Cain.  She makes very few pieces of pottery each year and this is one of the few carved black pieces.  The jar is very thin walled and fully carved.  The design is a series of three dragonflies and and flowers.  The top has rain designs and there is wind around the dragonflies.  As there jar is turned there is also a rain fall created with carved melon ribs!  It is highly polished and a stunning jar!  Note how her designs are very fluid from top to bottom.  As well, the background area which is matte is “rounded”, which adds another dimension to her pottery!  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
