4.5"w x 4"h

$ 450.00

Marian Naranjo worked with her husband, Ernest Naranjo, in the early 1970s.  She would make and polish the pottery while he would etch the designs.  Later, she would work in the 1980s with Kevin Naranjo and continue in a similar style of teamwork.  This is one of her classic shapes with a wide shoulder and sloping neck. The jar is very thin-walled.  It is fully polished and fired red.  One side has a realistic hummingbird and flowers.  The opposite side has a Pueblo style hummingbird with stylized flowers.  Seprating the two sides are geometric sun, cloud, and plant patterns.  The jar is tightly etched using the various levels of clay to create the colorations.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Ernest & Marian Rose”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
