Flora Naranjo began making pottery in the 1930s and was amazingly creative in form and designs.  It is not often that we see her pottery alone as in the 1980s she began to collaborate with her daughter Glenda Naranjo (b. 1953).  This bowl is coil built and carved around the rim with a triangular mountain pattern. The remainder of the bowl is fully polished.  It was fired a deep black.  The piece is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed, “Flora Naranjo” on the bottom in the clay.  The piece is dated 1950.
