This is a creative jar by Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano.  Working together, they make an amazing team as they create innovative pottery using traditional techniques.  Lisa makes the pottery and it is painted by Harlan.  This jar has a tightly painted wild spinach plant design around the neck.  Wild spinach is the plant used to paint the black on Cochiti pottery.  On the body of the jar, there are large flower medallions in the center.  Above and below them are cloud patterns.  The jar has “flame” or plant tendril extrusions in four sections.  They extend outward and are painted with wild spinach for the black.  The flames and imagery create a cohesive appearance and flow of design and form.  The materials are all traditional as the red and cream are both native clays while the black is wild spinach (a plant). The jar is traditionally fired outdoors.  It is signed, “Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano”.
