Greenware pottery is pottery made by a commercial process in molds. Some of the pueblo potters purchase greenware and apply a slip and design to the vessel and then fire it, most often in a commercial kiln. This bowl appears to be greenware. I have never before seen greenware by Felipa Trujillo but perhaps she did this as she aged.
The bowl is beautifully designed on the interior and exterior. For all practical purposes, it appears to be like any other Cochiti Pueblo serving bowl except for the clay. Greenware is chalky-white in appearance and Cochiti clay is more earthy colored. This clay in this bowl is chalky-white.
Condition: The bowl is structurally in original condition.
Provenance: from a Santa Fe gentleman
