This is a creative new clay bear by Johnathan Naranjo.  The bear is fully polished and fired a dark brown coloration. One side is plain and the opposite side has a realistic bear next to an aspen tree.  It is amazing detail and precision in the designs etched into the clay.  The light red matte areas are where Johnathan has only lightly etched into the surface of the jar.  This is a difficult technique to master but one that has become a trademark of Johanthan’s intricate and realistic style.  Johnathan pays great attention to the details in his pottery.  It’s these little details that certainly make his work so distinctive and exciting!  It is signed on the bottom, “Johnathan Naranjo”.
