Garcia, Tammy – Double Shoulder Water Jar (1990)
$ 800.00
This is an early jar by Tammy Garcia. It was made in 1990 when she was just 21 years old! It was only three years before, in 1987, that she won her first ribbon at Gallup Ceremonials. The jar is coil-built and it is a classic double shoulder water jar. The double shoulder or “Rainbow ridge” is a classic in Santa Clara pottery and here it is actually pushed out from the inside! The entire jar is fully polished and traditionally fired. While the jar is not carved, it speaks to Tammy’s early skill with form and polish. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Tammy Borts”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. It is exciting to see such creative pottery early in her impressive career!
