About the Item
This exquisite blackware jar is an iconic work by famed San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Maria Martinez (1887–1980), one of the most celebrated Native American potters of the 20th century. Known for pioneering the black-on-black pottery technique, Martinez developed a unique style that combines a sleek, polished slip glaze with matte black designs—creating a dramatic contrast of light, shadow, and texture.
Featuring a classic feather motif, this hand-coiled jar beautifully reflects Pueblo symbolism and Martinez’s refined artistic vision. Measuring 4.5 inches high by 6.75 inches in diameter, with a 4-inch mouth opening, its elegant proportions and luminous surface make it a standout display piece.
A rare and highly collectible example of San Ildefonso Pueblo pottery, this authentic Maria Martinez jar embodies the legacy of Indigenous craftsmanship, innovation, and cultural heritage. Ideal for collectors of Native American ceramics, Southwest art, or early 20th-century pottery, it’s a timeless addition to any curated interior or art collection.
