This is a fascinating piece by Virginia Romero. She is one of the great names in keeping micaceous pottery alive at Taos Pueblo.  This bowl is one of her pieces from the 1967 and it is micaceous clay (clay with mica), which was often used for utilitarian pottery.  The bowl has a “hobnail” design, which are the bumps which encircle the rim of the piece.  There are some great fire clouds on the bowl.  Interestingly, it has been over four years since we had a piece of her pottery come back to the gallery!  The bowl is signed and dated on the bottom, “Virginia Romero, 12/67”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
