Legoria Tafoya Legoria was a sister of painter Pablita Velarde. She was the mother of noted potter Celes Tafoya. This is one of her few kiva bowls. The bowl has three sides, each with a carved terrace or “kiva” step shape. The entire piece is fully polished.  It was fired a silvery-black coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, Legoria”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.   Definitely a unique piece by this important Santa Clara potter!
