Teresita Tafoya Naranjo (1919-1999) Apple Blossom - Bay-Po-Vi was the daughter of Christina Naranjo and granddaughter of Sara Fina Tafoya. She has been acknowledged as one of the finest 20th century potters at Santa Clara Pueblo. Her unexpected death in 1999 was a loss to all pottery collectors. She was active from 1935 to 1999 and was known for her black and redware carved works in the Santa Clara style. After her husband passed away in 1950, she supported her family solely through sales of her pottery.
