Tall Red Carved Jar by Jennie Trammel [SOLD]

Jennie Trammel is known by all collectors of contemporary pottery as one of the finest potters from Santa Clara Pueblo producing carved red vessels.  She was a perfectionist and her works clearly illustrate that. Unfortunately, she made fewer pottery items than any of the other daughters of Margaret Tafoya. She had a full-time job away from Santa Clara Pueblo and had little time for making pottery.  Interestingly, she was absolutely a phenomenal potter and produced the most beautiful carved wares of the twentieth century.

This tall elegant red jar has a band around the mid body with step designs combined with curved ones, a combination that works beautifully together.  There are four of these. The surface was slipped with a deep red clay which was stone polished to perfection. The jar is signed.

Condition: this Tall Red Carved Jar by Jennie Trammel is in excellent condition

Provenance: the jar belonged to a family member of the artist
