This is a collaborative bowl by Jennifer Moquino and Jason Ebelacker.  Jason made the bowl, which has a very wide and sharp shoulder. The flat top of the bowl is a perfect surface for Jennifer’s designs. His polishing skill can be seen on both the top of the piece and the bottom.  The top of the bowl is fully designed with four Paririe Hens.  This may not seem like an exotic choice of birds, but the complex detail to the etching of the feathers on the bodies is amazing.  There are additional plants and flowers which also surround the bowl around the birds.  The mouth of the mouth of the bowl has cloud and rain patterns etched in the style of her father, Ray Tafoya.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  Jennifer is extraordinary in her use of realism on her pottery and capturing a moment in time.
