Sarracino, Myron – 9″ Tall Jar with Tularosa Swirl and Terraced Clouds
8"w x 9"h
$ 575.00
Myron Sarracino is one of the few Laguna potters working today. He learned to make pottery from Gladys Paquin and he creates pieces that are thin-walled and tightly painted. This is a classic jar with a round body and an elongated neck. The body of the jar has large swirls inspired by the Tularosa pottery of the 1150-1325 era (see last photo). The swirls contrast a bold line with thin lines. The neck has step-shaped clouds with fine-line rain patterns. They are accented with red clay slip. It is elegant in shape and tightly painted. The jar is signed on the bottom, “M. Sarracino”.
