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 seedpot is coil-built and thin-walled.  This seedpot is painted on the top with a star pattern.  The star has fine lines and extends to the shoulder.  Between the points of the star are checkerboard and rain patterns.  The seedpot was traditionally fired outside so there are some color variations on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Jessie Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
