Fannie Nampeyo was the youngest daughter of noted potter Nampeyo of Hano and also the mother of noted potters Iris Nampeyo, Leah Nampeyo and Thomas Polacca. She was certainly among the most skilled of her generation for painting designs pottery. While her mother revived the “migration” or bird wing design, Fannie made is a signature design of her pottery and of the Nampeyo family. This larger jar is coil built and very tightly painted. The migration pattern, or bird wings, extend around the entire jar in 10 sections. The jar was traditionally fired so that it has some visually striking blushes on the surface. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom, “Fannie Nampeyo”.
