Angie Yazzie is renowned for her thin-walled Taos pottery. Each piece is coil built and made from micaceous clay from near Taos Pueblo. Angie focuses on traditional shapes along with making each piece nearly paper-thin! It almost feels like there is nothing there when you hold one! This jar has a rounded shoulder and a short neck. The piece is made from micaceous clay so when it is fired it has a sparkling/metallic appearance. Angie fires her pieces using wood and on this piece, the dark coloration is from the heat of the firing. The fire-clouds add to the overall visual impact of the bowl. It is signed on the bottom, “Angie Yazzie ’20”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. She has won numerous awards for her work, including “Best of Pottery” at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2017.
