$ 1,600.00
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 tall jar is a shape that was used by both her and Maria during the 1920’s. It is a tall shaped jar with a high shoulder. The jar here is highly polished and has a cloud design painted around the neck and then additional rain and wind designs around the shoulder. The painted designs here are so bold that they give a very modernistic appearance to the jar. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Desideria”.

Sanchez, Desideria Montoya (1889 - 1982)
Desideria Montoya Sanchez was a sister of noted potter Maria Martinez. She often worked with her husband Donicio, who painted some of her pottery. Three of her five children, including Juanita Roybal, Pilar Aguilar, and Santiago Sanchez, did not continue in the pottery-making tradition. However, Santiago’s wife, Angelita Sanchez is a well-known potter. She also created elegant black-on-black pottery, but her forms and painted designs are distinctly different from those of Maria & Julian.
