Some of the best work of the career of Lucy M. Lewis is from the period when she dated her pottery in the late 1960’s.  This large jar is a classic from that period and one of the larger pieces we have seen from her from this time.  It is a jar shape with a high shoulder and a slight neck.  The patter is her famous “Lightning Design” which was inspired by the ancient pottery from Chaco Canyon. The design is one that is free-flowing and covers the entire surface of the jar. The lines are tight and crisp against the white background.  The jar is signed on the bottom “Lucy M. Lewis” and it is dated 1968.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks restoration or repair.  Certainly one of the classic pieces by this important matriarchal potter!
