Tonita Roybal remains one of the great innovative names in San Ildefonso pottery.  This smaller jar has her classic sharp shoulder.  The neck has a painted plant design which encircles the piece.  The jar is highly polished and fired to a great gunmetal coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Tonita”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  A  note on the provenance: The small sticker on the bottom denotes that it was from the collection of Dick Howard, as that was his early numbering system.
