TERESITA NARANJO SANTA CLARA POTTERY ANANYU BOWL double polished, signed & dated 1950
This bowl is polished outside as well as inside. The Avanyu water serpent is beautifully carved around the pot.
5-1/4" wide, 2-1/2" tall
Condition: Very good for a 1950 vintage pot. NO CHIP OR CRACK. There are some light wear on the rim but I wasn't able to capture because they are so faint.
Please look at the pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
I have been collecting Native American kachina dolls and pottery over 20 years. It is time to pass on these wonderful arts to someone who will enjoy them.
Comes from non-smoking home.
