Denny Gutierrez was known for his faceted melon bowls.  As opposed to carving them, he would flatten out each rib out to create a “faceted” appearance.  The result was a reflective surface and a very striking piece of pottery.  This bowl is round in shape, which shows off the faceted swirling ribs.  It is from 1992.  The bowl has 32 faceted ribs swirling down from the rim to the base.  This is one of his more intricate pieces for the size!  The narrowness of each rib adds to the amazing reflectiveness of this piece.  The jar is very highly polished and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Denny Gutierrez”.
