This is a larger seedpot by Rosemary Lonewolf.  She learned to make pottery from her father, Joseph Lonewolf.  This piece is interesting in that Rosemary spent time in China during the early 1990’s and created a variety of pieces in a similar theme to this seedpot.  She would juxtapose various realistic animals and images against Mimbres designs.  Here, the top has two very detailed Koi.  The side has a variety of Mimbres inspired fish.  It is a creative idea and one which works well and is even more interesting relative to the time period!  All the various colors are different clay slips. which are added after the firing.  The seedpot is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Appleblossom”.  While Rosemary no longer makes many traditional style pieces of pottery, her miniatures remain a classic!
