This is a classic carved bowl by Margaret Tafoya is from the 1980s.  The bowl is coil-built and has a round body and is fully carved.  The bowl has mountain, rain, and lightning designs.  It is deeply carved and highly stone polished. The bowl is fired a deep black coloration  Much of Margaret’s pottery in the 1980s was smaller than the massive pieces of the 1960s and 70s.  However, there is an undeniable continuation of quality and creativity in this period.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Tafoya”.  It’s an exceptional piece in both design and polish and great to get a piece in the gallery by Margaret in such exceptional condition!
