Effie and Orville Garcia have received high praise, and won numerous awards for their Santa Clara Pueblo Pottery for over 25 years.T his vase is in very good condition and measures 4" D x 2" H. #1891 Santa Clara Pueblo pottery is a beautiful and prized art form that is both elegant and timeless. The Santa Clara Pueblo is located on the western side of the Rio Grande River, north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This Tewa pueblo is well known for its highly polished red and black ware, a style of pottery with an oxidizing firing technique (for the black pottery) that is historic to many of the northern Rio Grande pueblos. The revival of this ancient pottery style began in the late 1930’s as potters, led by Maria Martinez of the San Ildefonso Pueblo, started creating pottery for the flourishing tourist market. Pueblo pottery, traditionally known for its utilitarian, ceremonial and religious uses, has also become a highly collected and prized art form today. Using native materials and ancient techniques honed through the centuries, a variety of both traditional and contemporary works is being made today by the potters of Santa Clara Pueblo. Styles include the classic red and black ware, which can be plain or painted with mineral slips, the matte on black being most common. The pottery surface may be smooth or have carved designs, sometimes deeply carved, and sometimes very finely scratched in, a method called sgraffito.
