Large Golden Micaceous Pottery Bowl with Fire Clouds by Lonnie Vigil
About the Item
Lonnie Vigil (1949 -)
Micaceous Bowl
1994
8 inches H. x 13 inches in Diameter
This striking bowl is by renown master potter Lonnie Vigil of Nambe Pueblo.
Made from hand coils of micaceous clay, the surface is then slipped with micaceous clay and traditionally pit fired. Micaceous clay is so rich in the mineral mica that the mica's tiny gold-colored flakes impart a softly glowing, subtly textured surface to the finished pottery.
So it is not just the form, but the surface that is so stunning on this beautiful piece. The bowl was fired to a deep golden orange, with the surface patterned by fire clouds. These fire clouds are varied in coloration forming an exquisite pattern on the surface of the bowl.
Lonnie Vigil is the recognized master and innovator of micaceous pottery. Vigil is singularly credited with reviving unpainted, micaceous pottery and establishing its credibility as a contemporary art form.
Lonnie Vigil's work is often described as bridging the past and present. He uses the same hand-built techniques and firing methods practiced by Pueblo Peoples for hundreds of years, yet his innovative forms reflect awareness of contemporary global ceramic and sculptural traditions.
