This is an intricately designed jar by Russell Sanchez. The jar has a round shoulder and short neck. The piece is fully polished and etched with a snowflake design. Russell does all his etching before the piece is fired. The piece was fired to a gunmetal, silvery coloration. The neck is two-toned green. Below the green is a band of copper leafing and it is separated by two bands of brass beads. The snowflake design is inset with 48 pieces of turquoise! The lid is two-toned black-and sienna with a single piece of turquoise on the top. The jar has a striking balance of design, form, and color. Russell is one of the few potters working today who is able to achieve a true gunmetal coloration. The jar and the lid are both signed on the bottom in the clay, “Russell”. A wonderful traditional and yet very modern piece!
