Holt, Lisa & Harlan Reano – 9″ Tall Water Jar with Interlocking Wild Spinach Designs (2023)
9"w x 9.5"h
$ 2,900.00
This is a striking water jar by Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano. They make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa made the pottery and it was painted by Harlan. This jar has a round body and a short neck. The piece is painted with acrylic after the firing. The jar has a series of interlocking plant or “wild spinach” designs. Wild spinach is the plant used to paint black on the pottery. It is repeated in different sections across the surface of the jar. Note how the design matches and accentuates the shape of the jar! It is exciting to see a piece with this amount of dynamic artistry. It is signed on the bottom, “Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano ’23”. Interestingly, I judged their pottery the first year they entered at Santa Fe Indian Market and it has been exciting to watch them evolve in shapes and designs over the years.

Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the vessels, and Harlan paints them. Lisa learned to make pottery from her mother, Inez Ortiz, and she is also a niece of Virgil Ortiz, Janice Ortiz, and a granddaughter of Seferina Ortiz. The materials are all traditional as the red and cream are both native clays while the black is wild spinach (a plant). Traditional forms and designs have become modernistic interpretations of cultural imagery. Lisa and Harlan have won numerous major "Best of Pottery" awards for their pottery at the Heard Indian Fair, Autry Museum Indian Fair, and Santa Fe Indian Market. They are also featured in books such as "Talking with the Clay," and their work can be found in museums nationwide. They are definitely among the leading younger potters working today!
