Marie Juanico (1937-2024) learned to make pottery from her mother, Dolores Sanchez (who lived to be 103!).  Marie began making pottery in 1962.  She was known for her innovative use of various colors of clay slips on her pottery.  Her daughter, Delores Juanico Aragon, continues to make pieces in a similar style. This is a stunning larger jar by Marie.  The design is a rainbow that encircles the piece.  Above the rainbow are two large Parrots with flowers.  Below are intricately painted flowers.  There are FIVE different colors used on this jar!  The jar is fully designed with a pattern that follows the shape of the water jar.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “M. S. Juanico”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
