Handmade by master potter Glendora Fragua a talented award winning artisan from San Jemez. Pueblo, New Mexico, USA. Daughter of famed matriarch Juanita Fragua. Glendora characterizes her work as contemporary but made the traditional way: hand-gathered-and-processed clay, volcanic ash for temper, paints from the Earth and plants, everything is done by hand the ancient way... the only modern technology she uses is an electric kiln to fire her pots in. The designs she uses are her own, carved into her pots after they've dried and been polished but not fired yet. After carving she might add a red or buff or micaceous slip, then she adds her trademark cornstalk to the bottom and before firing it. This piece showcases the rich cultural heritage of Native American pottery. True craftsmanship and skill of Native American pottery making are represented here. Beautiful, rare, one of a kind.
