Tso, Jared – “Reflection” Swirl Polished Jar with Relief Carved Edge
5"w x 8.5"h
$ 1,800.00
This is a thin-walled tall jar by Jared Tso. He is one of the rising stars of Native pottery. He is a grandson of potter Faye Tso and his pottery is exceptionally refined in technique and traditional in style. Each piece is coil-built from traditional native Navajo clay and traditionally fired. This jar is polished in a swirl around the body of the piece. The neck has raised designs that extend over the rim of the piece. Jared said this was one of his first attempts at extending the design over the rim. The jar was outdoor fired to create the surface colorations of swirling black. After the firing, the inside of the jar was covered in pinon pitch, creating a pooling “reflection” at the bottom when you look inside! There are a great variation in techniques and colorations on this creative jar. It is exciting to see an artist find inspiration in the historic work and, using the same clays, refine them in a modernistic manner. The jar is signed, “Jared Tso”.
