Martinez, Maria – 12″ Red Feather Plate, “Marie + Santana” (1940s)
12" diameter
$ 7,000.00
This plate by Maria Martinez is one of her few redware pieces. It was made by Maria Martinez and painted by her daughter-in-law Santana. The plate is polished and then painted with a classic feather design. The plate was fired red with a striking coloration. Maria made fewer red pieces during her career as they were more difficult to fire and this piece has a high polish and strong coloration. It is signed on the back in the clay, “Marie + Santana”. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. Definitely a rarity and a classic!
