This is one of the few smaller pieces we have had by Desideria Montoya Sanchez.  She was a sister of famed potter Maria Martinez. This is a smaller open bowl that is fully polished.  It was fired a dark black but there are small areas of gunmetal coloration on the outside.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Desideria”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
