Early 20th Century Blackware Jar with Feather Design by Maria Martinez

About the Item

This exquisite blackware jar is a masterful creation by renowned San Ildefonso Pueblo potter Maria Martinez (1887-1980), celebrated for her groundbreaking black-on-black pottery technique. Featuring a striking feather design, the jar showcases Martinez’s signature highly polished slip glaze contrasted against a rich matte black background, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and texture. Measuring 4.5 inches high and 6.75 inches in diameter at its widest point, with a 4-inch opening, this piece embodies the artistry and tradition of Pueblo pottery. A stunning addition to any Native American pottery collection, this authentic Martinez jar is a timeless representation of Indigenous craftsmanship and design.
