This is a fully polished bowl by Margaret Tafoya from the 1960s.  The bowl is coil built and fully polished on the interior and exterior. This is always more difficult as by adding more wet slip to the interior in order to polish the surface, it can end up damaging the exterior.  However, Margaret was masterful at polishing.  While she did not always fully polish her pieces (inside and outside), when she did they are exceptional in appearance.  This bowl is fired a deep black. The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Tafoya”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. There are a few light surface scratches which are not unexpected from this period of her work.
