This black polishhed bear is by Adam Martinez.  Adam was the youngest son of Maria Martinez, and Santana (his wife) painted Maria’s pottery in the 1940-50’s.  Adam made clay bear figures in the 1980’s and 1990s and they are just signed by him.  They are clay and stone polished.  This bear has a stylized head an body.  It is signed on the bottom “Adam”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Definitely a classic piece!
