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”.
