Rose Chino Garcia learned pottery making from her famous mother and has used some of her mother's designs, however, she has also been very creative in developing designs of her own, designs that have proven most successful as recognized by the Santa Fe Indian Market award mentioned above.

 

Rose Chino Garcia (1928-present) signatureThe Chino family produces mostly black-on-white pottery and occasionally some of them will make what is considered the hallmark of Acoma potterya polychrome design with parrots and undulating double rainbows as in this exquisite jar by Rose.  The rainbows are each outlined in black and undulate over and under the parrots, which are not outlined.  The parrots’ wings are floating above their bodies as if the birds were preparing for flight.  The orange and black painted elements are strong in color that is even in consistency, hallmarks of an excellent potter.

 

Condition: excellent condition with only one spall spot over the entire vessel
