$ 700.00

Mark Tahbo is known not just for his painted pottery, but especially for the blushes on his pottery.  This jar is fully polished and note how Mark polished it at an angle or swirl! It is just visible in the coloration. The jar is traditionally fired and there are color variations from white to dark orange.  Mark said about this piece,

“My first plainware pieces were done years ago. I was sure that these would be well received and gallery owner Charles king took a chance with them. They were an immediate hit!  I don’t do very much plainware for it has to be flawless.  The surface has to be free of all dips or air holes and the shape has to be elegant on its own, as there is no design to distract the eye.  The colors achieved on the pots are truly amazing.  Each piece is fired outdoors using sheep dung and coals.  This piece turned out a “pumpkin” color.  I love it!”

It is signed on the bottom with a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
