Jennifer Moquino is known for her clay vessels and exceptional realistic animals. This jar is coil built and fully polished.  It is a wonderful shape with indented sides and it has a square shape.  The top has all different dragonflies etched into the clay.  The background has some additional designs and a micaceous clay.  The bottom is also fully polished and there are small fish etched on the bottom.  Check out the exceptional polishing on and firing the jar.  The last photos are some taken before the jar was fired and then another taken after.  You can see how the jar was red and it is sitting in the crate.  It was then fired black (using the horse manure) and the photo of it with other pieces right after the firing.  We were lucky to have time with Jennifer to fire this piece!  The etched designs are all done after the firing and the colors are all from natural clay slips.  Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today!
