Juan Cruz Roybal is one of the great painters in San Ildefonso pottery.  He worked on pottery with his wife, Tonita, and often painted for other potters after her death in 1945.  Juan was known for his very distinctive style of painting using fine lines and flowing designs.  This is an unusual bowl which is just signed, “Juan”.  It has his very distinctive style of painting a lightning design.  It may be that he painted on a series of pieces which remained unfinished after the passing of Tonita.  It is in good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
