Once Known – San Ildefonso Black-on-Red Jar with Plant Designs (1890s)

13"w x 12"h

$ 4,500.00

This is a classic black-on-red San Ildefonso water jar.  This large jar has a round shoulder and a turned out rim.  The piece is from the 1890s.  The neck has a cloud design while below the shoulder are plant designs.  It is an elegant use of form and design.  The jar was traditionally fired.  It is in very good condition with no chips,  cracks, restoration or repair.  While it is a classic style for San Ildefonso, there are not enough indicators to create an attribution for the piece.

This is an unusual double bowl from San Ildefonso Pueblo.  It is from around 191-20. The piece is made from native clay, slipped white and painted.  This type of piece was probably made for the growing tourist trade in Santa Fe and Taos in the early 1900s.  The two bowls are connected and have a painted handle. The bowls each have plant designs extending downward.  It was traditionally fired, giving it the coloration on the surface.  It is unsiged and there are just not enough indicators to create a strong attribution.  However, it is in very good condition with no chips,  cracks, restoration or repair.
