This jar is a classic water jar shape for Christina Naranjo and her pottery. The jar has a low, round shoulder and an elongated neck, with a rim which is slightly turned out.  It is very highly polished and a striking shape. While she was famous for this particular form of her water jars, it is not often that we see them come back onto the market.  This jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Christina Naranjo”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  As Christina was a sister of Margaret Tafoya and Camilio Tafoya, as well as the matriarch of the family of potters including Teresita Naranjo and Tammy Garcia, this is certainly a classic!
