Seferina Ortiz was the matriarch of a family of renowned potters, including Virgil Ortiz, Janice Ortiz, and Lisa Holt. This is one of her figurative pieces.  It is a clay frog with a large open mouth.  It is painted with wild spinach (black) and traditionally fired.  The back has a raincloud design.  Definitely one of Seferina’s classic forms.  It is signed, “S. Ortiz”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
