Marie Suazo is a granddaughter of noted potter Rosita Velarde and a daughter of Teresa Gutierez.  She is a sister of potters Carol Velarde and Doris Tenorio.  She is known for her deeply carved pottery and use of complex designs.  This bowl is one of her few red pieces.  It is highly polished and very deeply carved.  The design is a water serpent (avanyu) which encircles the bowl. The body of the avanyu has a complex pattern which extends from the rim to the negative space at the base.  Note as well how the designs of the body range from lightning designs to a feather pattern.  The recessed area from the carving has a cream-colored clay slip which she also uses to outline the avanyu and carved designs.   The result is that the design detail is accentuated.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
