Denny Gutierrez was known for his faceted melon bowls. As opposed to carving them, he would flatten them out to create a “faceted” appearance.  The result was a reflective surface and a very striking piece of pottery.  This bowl has 25 ribs and each swirls from the neck to the base.  The bowl 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.
