Tonita Roybal is one of the great innovative names in San Ildefonso pottery.  This is simply a classic long neck jar by Tonita.  The jar is a shape which is visually associated with her pottery. The high shoulder, the elongated neck define the elegance of the shape. The entire piece is fully polished red. The designs are red-on-red with a striking feather pattern separated by a bird tail design. The painting was done by Juan Cruz Roybal, her husband. There are white clay slip areas along with his signature “dots” and the hatchmarks.  The jar is from the late 1930’s and has the sticker of “approval” used at the Santa Fe Indian Market after 1936.  The jar is in good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Tonita + Juan”.
