Dorothy Torivio was born at Acoma Pueblo in the 1940s. She is recognized for her innovative work in exaggerated seed-pot forms in large and miniature sizes. She covers her vessels with black and white or polychrome patterns of staggering intricacy, painted freehand with computer-like precision. Dorothy has extrapolated the innovative forms and decorations that were initiated by Lucy M. Lewis and Marie Chino, famous potters in the previous Acoma generation. Her mother taught her to make pottery and still helps with the firing. Dorothy maintains that the ideas for her decorations come from God. Her daughter helps gather the clay, grinds the mineral rock pigments, and chews the plant fronds for her mother's brushes. T his pot features the spiral pattern, one of her most popular designs. The lines are very clean, because of the pattern my camera has a hard time adjusting and sometimes makes the lines look jagged when they are not. It is in excellent condition and measures 4"w x 2.5" t. The winner of this auction will pay a fixed insured priortity shipping cost of $14.00. Thanks and Good Luck!!!
