Trancosa, Kevin – Bowl with Swirling Triangular Geometric (1996)
7"w x 3"h
$ 800.00
Kevin Trancosa was one of the few potters working at San Felipe Pueblo. I was lucky to work with him from 1996-8 in Scottsdale. Each piece was coil-built and made from San Felipe clay. This bowl has a round shape and turned-in-rim. The entire surface is painted with a spiraling design with thin lines that extends from the opening to the base. The design accentuates the form. The piece is from 1996, and it is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Kevin Trancosa”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. While he had a brief career, his work remains important among San Felipe potters.
