This bowl by Maria Martinez is very traditional in form and design.  It was made an polished by Maria Martinez and painted by her daughter-in-law Santana.  The design is painted around the shoulder and has a cloud, rain and lighting pattern.  The bowl itself very highly polished and it is fired a deep black.   The surface is nearly flawless and it is beautiful in the flow of the design on the slightly curved surface.  It is signed on the back in the clay, “Maria + Santana”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Definitely a classic!
