Torivio, Dorothy – Long Neck Shoulder Jar with Snowflake Design (1980s)
6.25"w x 5.25"h
$ 2,800.00
This is a classic-shaped jar by Dorothy Torivio. She was among the first to utilize and then refine the “op-art” style in her Acoma pottery. She took classic Acoma patterns and then repeated them on a vessel, ranging the size from small to large and then small again, following the shape of the vessel. The shape of the jar is one that Dorothy created to emphasize her painted designs. The jar has a high, wide shoulder and an elongated neck. It is fully painted with a snowflake pattern that extends from the rim to the base. There are tiny snowflakes interlocked with larger ones. The open space of the white and the contrasting black give the jar a very modern appearance. The jar is signed on the bottom, “Dorothy Torivio” and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
