Desideria Montoya Sanchez was a sister of noted potter Maria Martinez.  She was known for her traditional pottery and use of both classic and innovative designs. This jar is fully polished and painted with a feather and storm pattern.  There are two sections of feather separated by two sections of the rain and lightning designs.  This is a later jar and beautifully painted!  The jar is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Desideria”.
