This is the largest piece we have had by Lee and Betty Tafoya. Lee was the only son of Margaret Tafoya to make pottery. It is a stylized storage jar shape with a high shoulder and a short neck. The jar was made and carved by Lee and then polished by Betty. The piece has a complicated design with swirling clouds, rain, and mountain patterns. The entire piece is fully polished to a glassy shine and was traditionally fired to a dark black coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Betty & Lee Tafoya”. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
