This is a stunning gunmetal fired bowl by Maria Martinez and her son, Popovi Da.  Maria made and polished the bowl while it was painted by her son, Popovi Da  (1923-1971). The bowl is highly polished and has a feather pattern painted around the shoulder.  There are 40 symmetrically painted feathers encircling the piece.  The piece is fired to a strong gunmetal appearance from top to bottom.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Maria Popovi 766“. The firing date signature indicates that it was fired in July 1966.   The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
