$ 400.00

Katherine Victorino is a daughter of accomplished Acoma potter Monroe Victorino.  She began making pottery at nine years old and attributes her pottery education to her step-mother Beverly Garcia.  Katherine says; “I started by filling in the lines for my step-mother, and gradually I learned the traditional methods of hand-coil construction and fine line painting (using only yucca brushes) well enough to make pottery full time at the age of twenty.”  This jar has a classic shape with the slope up from the base and the slightly indented shoulder.  The design is a series of flower motif connected with a four-part butterfly design. It encircles the entire surface of the jar creating a strong graphic appearance with the contrast of the black and white.  The jar is signed on the bottom.
