This is a creative lidded jar by Jennifer Tafoya.  She is known for her clay vessels and also her amazing animal figures!  This jar is fully polished and fully designed.  There are trout and other fish encircling the bowl.  Note how each one is different and in a different state of movement.  The base has wave designs, as does the rim. The top is full polished and there is a large Bald Eagle head on the top.  It is fully etched into the clay and highlighted with clay slips for color.  There is a lot of intricate detail work on this piece.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today!  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jennifer & Mike Moquino”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
