Gonzales, Marie – Plate with Feather and Seed Designs (1984)

8.25" Diameter

$ 800.00

Marie Gonzales is a sister of noted potter John Gonzales and a daughter of Lorenzo Gonzales.  This plate is made from native clay and the front is fully polished. The designs are etched into the clay.  There are two sections with feathers that are separated by cloud patterns.  In the center is a seed and plant design.  It is an interesting variation of a classic San Ildefonso design.  The plate is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. It is signed on the bottom, “Marie Gonzales Pena”.  While Marie makes very little pottery today, her work is always creative and detailed in the execution of the design.
