Margaret Lou Gutierrez was the only daughter of noted potters Tonita & Juan Roybal.  She began making pottery in the 1970s. This bowl is very highly polished and one of her classic round shapes.  The design is a very tightly painted feather design on two sides and a very complex rain storm pattern on the other two sides.  The fine lines are certainly reminiscent of the designs painted by her father Juan in the 1930s.   This bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Lou Gutierrez”.
