$ 1,200.00

Teresita Naranjo was a daughter of Christina Naranjo and know for her deeply carved pottery.  This bowl is her classic style with a very deeply carved avanyu circling the piece.  Teresita was considered the first of the Santa Clara potters to carve outside of a linear band.  This can be seen here with the design coming down from the rim and up from the base.  The carving is very deep and complicated and the background has the traditional cream colored clay slip.  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Teresita Naranjo”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  There are a couple of light rubs which can be seen on the jar and have priced it accordingly.
