$ 175.00

This polychrome standing octopus is by Margaret & Luther Gutierrez.  Margaret would make the pottery and Luther (her brother) would paint them.  Each leg of the octopus has a different insect or animal.  The back of the head has water designs and the face is whimsical like much of their work at this time.  The colors are all derived from natural clay slips.  It is signed on the bottom “Margaret/Luther”. The bowl is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
