Margaret Lou Gutierrez was a 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 designs are very tightly painted.  There are rain and cloud patterns encircling the bowl.  It’s a complex pattern painted on a highly polished surface.  The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Lou Gutierrez”.
