Martinez, Santana & Adam – Gunmetal Jar with Feathers and Cloud Designs (1970s)
7'w x 6.25"h
$ 1,700.00
WOW! This is exceptional fully polished jar by Santana and Adam Martinez. The piece has a classic San Ildefonso jar shape with a sharp shoulder and sloping side. The jar is very tightly painted with two sections of feathers separated by a mountain and cloud pattern. What makes it exceptional is note just the size and precision of painted designs, but the firing. The jar has full gunmetal coloration from the firing, giving it a very silvery appearance. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Santana + Adam”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. The owners said they had purchased it in the 1970s directly from Santana and Adam on the plaza in Santa Fe! Definitely a classic piece!
