Duwyenie, Debra – Black-and-Sienna Seed Jar with Hummingbirds

3"w x 3.5"h

$ 700.00

This seed jar is a classic shape for Debra Duwyenie round body and a narrow neck. The entire piece is fully polished and then one side is etched before firing.  There are six hummingbirds along with flowers and butterflies.  The piece was fired a glassy black and then two-toned sienna around the design.  It is a very delicate design, especially with the long stems of the flowers!  Debra is one of the few potters who etches her pieces before they are fired, which adds to the risk if they are damaged in firing. It is signed on the bottom, “Debra”.

debra duwyenieDebra Duwyenie

debra duwyenie Debra is renowned for her highly polished incised pottery. At times she also works on pieces with her husband, noted potter Preston Duwyenie. He makes the piece of pottery on these pieces, and she does the polishing and incised designs. Debra is a granddaughter of Petra Gutierrez and the niece of noted potters Gloria Garcia (Goldenrod) & Lois Gutierrez. Debra also made pieces with Harvey Chavarria (1943-1991), which were signed "Debra + Harvey." Significantly, Debra does all of her sgraffito work into the clay before they are fired, which adds to the difficulty of her work. Debra has won numerous awards for pottery at events such as Santa Fe Indian Market.  Debra Duwyenie uses hand-coil, stone polish, paint, open fire, and hand sgraffito designs.  We are pleased to carry a selection of her work at our Scottsdale and Santa Fe locations.
