Sarracino, Myron – Jar with Tularosa Swirl and Mountain Design (1999)
8"w x 9.75"h
$ 550.00
Myron Sarracino is one of the few Laguna potters working today. He learned to make pottery from Gladys Paquin and creates pieces that are thin-walled and tightly painted. This is a classic jar with a round body and an elongated neck. The jar is coil-built and painted with bee-weed (black). The sides have four large swirling 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 an angular mountain design pattern. The jar is signed on the bottom, “M. Sarracino”. It is from 1999 and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
