This San Ildefonso Pueblo historic pottery jar by an unidentified potter was first slipped from top to bottom with red clay, then a design in black pigment was applied on the red. She painted an arrangement of parallel lines and black bars alternate around the body of the jar. Above that, is a continuous black wave-like element. Suspended from a framing line near the rim are black cloud elements. The rim is red. The jar dates to circa 1900.
Condition: there is a vertical crack from the rim to the shoulder, and some abrasions to the red slip on the rim top.
Provenance: this Historic San Ildefonso Pueblo Black-on-red Pottery Jar was sold to a client in 2000 from whom we now have it back to sell again.
