$ 200.00

Stetson Setalla is a son of noted potter Pauline Setalla and the brother of Dee Setalla and Gwen Setalla.  This is an interesting smaller jar.  The design has the tassels of a dance sash painted in various sections. They are separated by cloud and rain designs.  The rim is painted red and there is a black band around the shoulder.  The jar is traditionally fired to create the blushes on the surface. It is signed on the bottom “S. Setalla” and rain cloud. Interestingly, the first time I met Stetson was through the famous photographer Jerry Jacka, around 1998.  Jerry was photographing Stetson’s pottery for his book on Hopi art and asked Stetson to stay until I arrived so I could see his pottery!  Definitely a talented potter from the very beginning.
