This large jar by Maria Martinez is one of her classic pieces in both shape and design. It was made by Maria Martinez and painted by her daughter-in-law Santana Martinez (the wife of Adam Martinez, Maria’s son). It is very highly polished and has a glassy surface. The design is a feather pattern which encircles the shoulder of the jar. Above the feather pattern is a cloud design. The deep black firing and the tightly painted designs using the matte clay work perfectly together. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Maria + Santana”. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. Definitely a classic!
