Tse-Pe Gonzales and his wife, Dora, began working together around 1971.  Dora would make the pottery and Tse-Pe would etch the designs. This jar is a classic piece of their pottery.  The jar has a sharp shoulder and an elongated neck.  It is fully polished.  There is an avanyu etched around the neck of the jar.  The background area around the avanyu is highlighted with red clay.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay “Tse-Pe and Dora”.    It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.   Tse-Pe and Dora worked individually from 1980 to 2000, but their early collaborative work remains innovative, creative, and of the highest quality.
