Martinez, Santana & Adam – Jar with Avanyu Design (1970s)
5.5"w x 6"h
$ 1,200.00
This is a tall jar by Santana and Adam Martinez. It is one of their classic shapes with a round shoulder and a cylindrical form. Adam was the youngest son of Maria Martinez, and Santana (his wife) painted Maria’s pottery in the 1940-the 50s. The entire surface of this jar is fully polished. The design was then painted around theside of the jar. Santana painted a classic avanyu (water serpent) design encircling the piece. The jar was fired to a glassy black coloration. The high shine accentuates the shape and design. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Santana + Adam”. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. Definitely a classic piece!
