Tafoya, Jennifer – Bowl with Grey Tree Frogs and Frog Lid (2013)

3.5"w x 3.5"h

$ 2,600.00

This is a creative bowl by Jennifer Tafoya.  The piece is round and fully polished.  On the top half, there are four Grey Tree Frogs, each on a leaf.  What is hard to see is that they way she has etched the leaves, the frogs appear to be on a raised surface!  It is a great optical illusion.  Each frog is highly detailed and note the details in the eyes!  They are surrounded by tiny etched geometric designs.  The bowl has a lid that is carved with leaves and there is a green polished frog on top!  It is also etched.  All the colorations are derived from natural clay slips.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jennifer Moquino”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today!  She most recently won the “Tony Da Award” for innovative pottery at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2019 and “Best of Show” in 2023 and “Best of Pottery” in 2025!

Jennifer TafoyaJennifer Tafoya

Jennifer Tafoya is the daughter of Ray and Emily Tafoya.  The use of realism in their imagery has revitalized the style of sgraffito pottery originated by Joseph Lonewolf in the 1970s.  Jennifer has won numerous awards for her pottery and is featured in books such as "Talking with the Clay," "Crafted to Perfection," and "Breaking the Mold." Jennifer has also been featured in recent magazine articles in "Native Peoples Magazine" and "Southwest Art Magazine" and won "Best of Pottery" for a collaborative jar at the 2013 Heard Indian Market Guild.  She has continued to be an award-winning potter at Santa Fe Indian Market's 'Best of Show 2023.'  Jennifer uses the Native American traditional hand-coiled pottery methods, then shapes, polishes, and is traditionally fired before applying scraffito.  She then paints natural ore colors and slips them into her designs.  She collects and processes all of her pottery materials from natural sources.
