$ 1,800.00

This is an elegant tall jar by Jennie Trammel.   She was a daughter of Margaret Tafoya.  Over the years Jennie did not make a lot of pottery as she lived a very private life and was virtually never involved in markets or gallery shows.  However, she created striking pottery with classic shapes and designs which were distinctive to her work.  Each piece was coil built, and it was the carving, with the rounded edges, which was a visual key to her work.  This is a taller jar which is fully polished, even the inside of the neck.  The design is a cloud motif which varies as the jar is turned.  The turned out rim is a nice variation which adds to the overall impact of the highly polished surface.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed, “Jennie Trammel” in the clay on the bottom.
