+ Add to my watchlist Forward to Friend
- Category: Modern
- Origin: Tesuque Pueblo, TET-SUGEH
- Medium: clay, pigment
- Size: 2-5/8” tall x 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” pedestal
- Item # 25589 SOLD
This pair of pottery candlesticks is Tesuque Pueblo by origin and features black outline designs left unpainted. It is not evident if the potter planned to fill in the design with color or if it was her intent to leave it as shown. There is an old fabric sticker on one (see image below) that states Tesuque Indian Village Near Santa Fe August 18 1932. It is tempting to surmise that a tourist visited the home of a potter at Tesuque and saw and purchased this pair unaware that the painting was not complete. The potter was probably quite pleased to sell the pair as shown.
Condition: very good condition
Provenance: from the collection of a New Mexico family
