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 is one of the few red faceted pieces we have had.  It is a seedpot from 1990.  The piece has 24 swirling facets that start at the top and expand down to the base.  The piece is very highly polished and fired a dark red coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Denny Gutierrez”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
