Ramona Sisneros has been making pottery since the 1960’s.  She is known for her traditional style pieces which are coil built, stone polished and traditionally fired. This bowl is one of her stylized avanyu (water serpent) designs.  Interestingly, note how she uses the negative space of the design coming up from the base.  The bowl is fully polished and signed on the bottom in the clay, “Ramona Sisneros”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  She was also featured in the book, “Santa Clara Pottery Today”.
