This jar is a classic piece by Lee Tafoya and his wife, Betty Tafoya.  Lee was the only son of Margaret Tafoya to make pottery.  Their daughter, Linda Tafoya, is also known for her deeply carved pottery.  The jar was made and carved by Lee and then polished by Betty.  The jar is deeply carved and highly polished.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Betty & Lee Tafoya, 1977”. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
