Hopi Frog Woman White Wedding Vessel [SOLD]

Joy Navasie is among the most famous potters from the Hopi Reservation. She learned the skill from her famous mother, Paqua Naha, the first Frog Woman. Paqua developed white-ware pottery in the mid-1950s and Joy has continued the tradition since.

This very large wedding vessel is typical of Joy's graceful style. It has long curving necks connected by a tall arched handle. Joy's use of one large uncluttered design on each side adds to the cleanliness and elegance of the vessel.

The jar is signed with the potter's hallmark frog symbol.

Condition: the wedding vessel is in excellent condition. Some minor rubbing of the paint has occurred; otherwise it is in near original condition

Provenance: from a former Arizona collector of Hopi pottery
