5"w x5.75"h

$ 1,500.00

Dorothy Torivio 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, in accordance with the shape of the vessel.  This is a very unusual design for pottery.  The imagery is a series of snowflakes at night. The use of more black (bee weed plant) gives the jar a more dramatic appearance.  The shape is perfect for her pottery as it shows off all the design!  The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is great to see one of her pieces this size again!
