Tonita Roybal was known for her creative shapes and designs in the 1920’s.  This jar has a low, round shoulder.  The design has rain, cloud and lightning patterns.  What’s interesting about the design on this piece is how she put the design together. The vertical rain cloud line has a cloud pattern to one side and the lighting design also creates a bird wing pattern.  There is a striking creativity in the overall flow.  The jar is highly polished and traditionally fired.  The jar is from the late 1920’s and signed, “Tonita”.  It is in good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  There is some slight surface wear near one area of the rim and near the base.
