Paula Estevan is known for her thin-walled coil-built pottery.  This jar is very tightly painted with an “op-art” star pattern.  Each of the butterflies is painted in a horizontal or vertical manner.  They interlock across the surface of the jar.  It is a visually stunning design!   The imagery goes from small at the rim to larger at the shoulder and then small again at the base. The jar has a wide shoulder and just a slight neck.  Paula has a wonderful ability to match the shape and designs of her work perfectly!  The jar is signed on the bottom, “P. Estevan ’14”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repairs.
