Candelaria Suazo is a daughter of potters Joe and Santanita Suazo.  Her sisters include Martha Suazo (the wife of Art Cody Haungooah), Margie Naranjo, Mae Tapia, and Shirley Duran.  She learned to make pottery from her mother.  This bowl is round and thin-walled.  It is fully polished and fired black.  There are three butterflies and two hummingbirds as the design.  They are etched into the clay and surrounded by cloud and wind designs. The butterflies and hummingbirds have been “two-toned” to make them black and sienna in coloration.  Note the high polish and delicate etching on this piece.  It is signed on the bottom, “Candelaria Suazo”.
