Paulita Pacheco was a sister of noted potter Robert Tenorio. She was married to Gilbert Pacheco and her daughter, Rose Pacheco continues to make traditional-style Kewa pottery. Paulita learned to make pottery from her mother Juanita C. Tenorio and grandmother Andrea Ortiz. This is a large jar that is coil-built and painted with wild spinach plant (black) and red clay slip. The jar has a high shoulder and sloping neck. The neck has a flower petal design. Below the shoulder is a sun pattern. The large black-on-white areas give the jar the appearance of an historic Santo Domingo jar! The jar was traditionally fired. The piece is signed on the bottom, “Paulita Pacheco”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
