Tse-Pe & Dora – Gunmetal Water Jar with Bears, Bear Paws, and Avanyu (1975)
5"w x 6"h
$ 1,200.00
This is a striking water jar by Tse-Pe Gonzales and Dora. It was made in 1975. The jar was made and polished by Dora and then incised by Tse-Pe before it was fired. The neck of the jar has a water serpent (avanyu) and around the neck are four heartline bears. Below the shoulder are four bear paws alternating in the space between the bears. It is a detail and striking piece. The jar was fired to a silvery near-gunmetal coloration. The piece is signed “Tse-pe and Dora”. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. Tse-Pe and Dora worked individually from the 1980-2000, but their early collaborative work remains innovative, creative and of the highest quality even compared to many of today’s potters.
