Dolores Sanchez learned to make pottery from her mother, Josephita Sandoval. She is the mother of noted potters Marie Juanico, Judy Lewis, and Ethel Shields. She is the grandmother of Dolores Aragon, Carolyn Concho, Diane Lewis, Rebecca Lucario, and Charmae Natseway. This long neck jar is coil-built and painted with bee-weed. Around the neck are cloud and mesa designs.  Around the body of the piece are large interlocking star patterns.  The jar was traditionally fired, so there are some light color variations on the surface.  It is signed, “Dolores S. Sanchez”. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
