This is one of the largest pieces we have had by Johnathan Naranjo.  It captures his unique style of sgraffito and etching on his pottery.  The jar is fully polished.  Around the neck of the jar are a series of hummingbirds, etched into the clay in a realistic manner.  Note how they are detailed but also have a more deeply etched band around them. Around the shoulder are larger flowers.  It is this contrast of the delicate hummingbirds and the larger flowers which works perfectly on this jar. Note on the flowers how they are etched to be both red and tan, in a slight gradation of color, which gives them both depth and realism.  In addition, they highlight the highly polished surface.  The jar has a square neck and a round body.  It is traditionally fired, which gives it the distinctive coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.  Johnathan has won numerous awards for his pottery and  Johnathan is definitely one of the young potters to watch!
