This is a large water jar by Angelita Sanchez. Angelita was a daughter of Isabel Antencio and a sister of painter Gilbert Atencio and potter Helen Gutierrez.  It is a water jar with a sharp shoulder and turned-out rim. The jar is fully polished and painted with a feather and bird wing design.  The jar was traditionally fired a deep black coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Angelita Sanchez”.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.   She did not make a lot of pottery over the years and this is the largest piece of her work we have had in the gallery.
