James Ebelacker is a son of noted potter Virginia Ebelacker and a grandson of Margaet Tafoya.  He is known for his larger vessels, but this is one of his few smaller pieces. It is a classic double shoulder water jar.  It is very highly polished and has the classic rainbow ridge for the double shoulder. The jar is polished to a very high shine and traditionally fired black.  Even the inside of the neck is polished!  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
