Gachupin, Candelaria – Bowl with Three Birds (1970s)
4.5"w x 4.25"h
$ 400.00
Candelaria Gachupin was a granddaughter of noted potter Rosalea Toribio and the daughter of Maria Bridgett. She taught both her daughter Dora Tse-Pe and son-in-law, Ralph Aragon, to make pottery. This bowl is from the early 1970s. It is coil-built and has three of her stylized birds as the design. Candelaria was known for her stylized birds, which have long legs and are a visual “signature” to her pottery. This jar has three sections of birds separated by a polished red lightning band. We do not often see a lot of her pottery but there is certainly a striking appearance to her designs. This jar is signed on the side, “Candelaria Gachupin, Zia Pueblo”. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
