$ 300.00

Jessie Garcia is one of the great names in Acoma pottery.  Between 1950 and 1970, she along with Lucy Lewis and Marie Z. Chino led the revival of Acoma pottery.  This bowl is painted with an unusual Acoma pattern.  There are lightning designs in the negative space of the design.  The lines are rain and there are squares with circles representing the pueblos.  It is a fully designed and interesting piece with a modernist graphic appearance. The bowl was traditionally fired which gives it some color variation on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Jessie Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It was originally purchased in the 1960s.
