This jar is an early piece by Tse-Pe Gonzales and Dora from 1974.  The jar was made and polished by Dora and incised by Tse-Pe.  The design has two bears etched into the clay.  Note how he created a textured area surrounding the heartline.  The jar was fired a glassy black.  The piece is signed “Tse-pe and Dora”.  It is in excellent 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.
