Folwell, Polly Rose – Asymmetric Jar with Stars and Cloud Designs
4.25"w x 3"h
$ 400.00
Polly Rose Folwell is a daughter of Jody Folwell and a sister of Susan Folwell. She is known for their use of classic designs on her traditional-inspired Santa Clara pottery. This jar is coil-built and thin-walled. It is fully polished and has a wide shoulder and asymmetric rim. The jar is plain above the shoulder and fully designed below the shoulder. There are kiva step, star, and cloud designs. Note all the thin lines, and the Folwell family “xs” etched into the background of the designs! There is a lot of complex imagery on this piece. It was fired a brown coloration, which is striking in person. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Polly Rose”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
