Fannie Polacca Nampeyo (1904-1987) is perhaps the most famous of Nampeyo of Hano's three daughters. She produced during the period when collectors were seriously collecting signed pottery. At that time, she was the oldest Nampeyo family member. She remained true to tradition in vessel construction and design throughout her career. I watched Fannie in every stage of pottery production but the thing I remember most was the way she would get out a large jar of Vaseline and rubbed a little bit on her fired pot, then burnish it with an old pair of panty hose that she slipped over her hand. The result was a beautiful patina.
