Award-Winning Acoma Pueblo Tall Thin Necked Jar [SOLD]

This award-winning jar by Rose Chino was entered in the Santa Fe Indian Market competition in 1976 and was awarded “Most Creative Design in any Classification” by a panel of 16 judges. The award ribbon accompanies the jar.

Rose was one of the talented daughters of Marie Z. Chino.  Among her talented sisters, who also were potters, were Carrie Chino Charlie and Grace Chino.  Rose’s pottery is in the collections of the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, Heard Museum in Phoenix, Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, and numerous private collections. She has won awards at Santa Fe Indian Market since 1975.  

Rose Chino combined two Acoma Pueblo designs that are collector’s favorites—complicated fine line design and heart line deer design— and she did it in an ingenious manner, sufficiently so that she won an award for it.  The heart line deer band swirls around the jar from a wide width at the base of the jar to a very narrow one culminating at the rim. Her deer have a happy presence with their upturned noses and tails high in the air.
