This jar perfect shape for Johnathan Naranjo’s distinctive style of incised pottery. All four sides are fully polished and the shape is square with flat sides and a flat top. On each side is a realistic trout swimming in the water.  It is meant to be as if the viewer is looking through the water at the fish on each side. The top of the jar is matte and carved with water swirls.  The lid is carved in the shape of a dragonfly!  It the dragonfly landing on the water which is exciting the fish.  The various shades of red and tan are achieved by lightly scraping away layers of polished surface!  This is a very difficult technique but visually is striking.  Johnathan has won numerous awards for his pottery and  Johnathan is definitely one of the young potters to watch!
