Dora Tse-Pé (1939-present), from San Ildefonso Pueblo, is recognized as a master potter, and was awarded the title Master of Indian Market. She is and has always been a perfectionist in her art career. She achieves a beautifully smooth burnish and an exceptional black firing to her pottery. Along with Popovi Da and Tony Da, Dora experimented with and achieved success in two-tone firings, resulting in sienna accents to the blackware.
In this very simple jar, Dora achieved a superb burnish which she highlighted with sienna around the rim. She etched a bear into the body of the vessel at which point she placed a turquoise cabochon. The jar is signed Dora Tse-Pé of San Ildefonso 1983.
