is a pristine example of pottery from the husband and wife team, Tsepe and Dora of San Illdefonso pueblo made and dated 1977. Tspe is the son of Rose Gonzales, a matriarch in the pottery families of San Illdefonso and taught her daughter in law, Dora the art of potery making and firing. The polish on this piece is as good as it gets. Hand burnished using a stone it is difficult to achieve a surface of this quality and sheen. The pot is beautifully formed and polished and fired to a black finish with a sienne medallion in the center. Measuring a hair under 3'' in heigth and a hair over 3 1/4'' wide. The quality of this piece is what you would see in a ceation by Tony Da, Popovi Da or Maria Martinez. I am the only and the original owner of this piece as I aquired it directly from the artist in 1977. I have seen pots of this size selling for well over $1,000.00 plus dollars in the last year. I am letting a few pieces go out of my collection. Dont miss out on this beauty !!!
