Madeline Sayneyha is a cousin of potter Mark Tahbo.  In the 1990’s she began making elegant pottery.  Each piece was coil built, painted with native clay slips and traditionally fired.  She was quickly known for her thin painted lines and dynamic firing. This bowl is painted with a mountain and wind design around the shoulder of the piece.  The entire bowl is fully polished, even  on the inside!  The bowl is traditionally fired to create the fire clouds.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
