Garcia, Tina – Rainbow Ridge Water Jar with Raindrop Rim (1980s)

5.5"w x 6"h

$ 975.00

Tina Garcia was well known for her focus on traditional shapes and plainware Santa Clara pottery. This is a classic water jar with a double shoulder or “rainbow ridge”.  It is actually how the clay is pushed out to create the ridge, not just clay added to the surface.  The jar has a long neck and the rim is fluted or has a “raindrop rim”.  These are both classic Santa Clara additions to the water jar form.  Tina was continually inspired by historic Santa Clara pottery.  The jar was traditionally fired and is a deep red coloration.  It is signed on the back in the clay, “Tina Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
