WOW!  This is an amazing miniature by Jeff Roller.  He creates exceptional traditional pottery.  Not only is there is remarkable attention to the crisp carved lines in his work, but an evenness to his stone polished surfaces. Add to that his distinctive sculptural additions to his pottery and he creates something unique in Santa Clara pottery.  This is one of his classic designs, in miniature!  The jar is coil-built, carved, and stone polished.  The jar has carved mountains, clouds, and lightning.  The sides have carved realistic-style buffalo in matte.  Check out the precision of the detail on each of the buffalo heads!  The lid is matte and is a standing buffalo.  It fits perfectly into the jar.  The piece was fired a brown coloration.  It is stunning in person!  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jeff Roller”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
