Description

Featuring a beautiful mix of stone polish and matte clay work, this gorgeous jar by Jemez potter Bertha Gachupin presents a melon style body at the center of each side and is finished with adorable turtle accents and a square rim.  The body of the piece features incredible stone polishing along each melon style section, one buff and one red, which are topped by polished bands.  A brown, micaceous polished band flows over a red polished melon style section, while a red polished band flows over a buff polished melon style section.  The center of the piece showcases matte light brown painted along its edges in black and red reoccurring geometric patterns, while the rim of the piece is polished red, and just below, additional patterns in black and red lay.  A turtle rests along the matte portion of the piece just below the rim on each side, their shells polished and painted in red and black.  6 3/4″ tall x 6″ wide.
