$ 400.00

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 jar has 32 melon ribs that are straight and extend from the shoulder to the base.  They are evenly spaced and very highly polished.  The top of the jar is plain as is the base.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Denny Gutierrez Santa Clara 89”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
