Greg Garcia was known for his use of classic Santa Clara forms for his pottery.  He learned to make pottery from his grandmother, Severa Tafoya and also worked closely with his sister, Tina Garcia.  This is one of his classic double-shoulder water jars. The jar has an elongated neck and a “rainbow ridge” or double shoulder, which is always technically difficult to make. The entire piece is fully polished.  The jar is an elegant form and was fired a deep black coloration.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Greg Garcia”.
