Lonnie Vigil is known for his creative use of micaceous clay and is one of a handful of potters from Nambe pueblo.  He has taken this style of pottery and transformed it from utilitarian into fine art.  This is an early piece of his pottery that is made from micaceous clay.  It has a round shape and a short neck.   The jar is painted with red clay to create a cloud design.  The painted designs are a strong complement to the micaceous clay of the vessel.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Lonnie Vigil”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
