Rose Gonzales is often considered the first at San Ildefonso Pueblo to make carved pottery. However, over the course of her career she created a variety of styles including plainware, painted and carved pottery.  This jar of hers is from 1967.  It is very highly polished with a glassy shine to the  surface.  The shape is her classic sharp shoulder and sloping neck.  The jar is signed “Rose” on the bottom in the clay.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It has a blue ribbon (first pricze) from the 1967 Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial.   It is always great to come across a piece with great provenance!
