This lovely coffee table book makes you feel as if you were sitting with Maria as she speaks of her life.

The biography of Maria Poveka Martinez is warmly written by Richard Spivey, connoisseur of Pueblo pottery and dear friend of the Martinez Family. These First Editions are signed by the author!

When Maria worked with Popovi during the 1950s and 60s, they achieved some of the finest art pottery of Maria's long career.

11 3/4" diameter, all original condition with no damage or restoration. Signed by both with no firing date, which places it in the early 1950s.

This is a fine addition to any serious collection of Pueblo Indian pottery by the most famous of all Indian artists Maria Martinez, b.1887-d.1980, and Popovi Da, b.1922-d.1971.

Original price of $18,000 is now reduced to $16,500.

13 1/2" diameter with a feather pattern and star burst in the center, rather unusual design painted by Julian.

This traditionally made pottery plate has been around for over 75 years and has some surface wear as would be expected. But the overall condition is very good, no cracks or chips. No restoration. The light is reflecting off the surface and is not damage to the edge.

Signed Marie and Julian.

Maria would carefully shape the coils of native clay into graceful jars and bowls, then stone burnish the slip to a high shine. Her husband Julian would then paint his magical designs and together they would pit fire the vessel to a black finish.

This large jar measures 11 3/4" diameter by 7 1/2" deep, truly one of the largest jars we have ever had!

Look closely at the bottom half of the vessel, there has been water that has soaked through and left the surface rough. But only the polished area is affected, the matte design is very clear. The inside of the jar has been coated with something black and shiny, but nothing has been done to the outside.

This large jar would bring a five figure price if not for the surface, but it still displays beautifully. You can have it for a much more reasonable price. The owner of this old pottery bowl is willing to come down to $5500.00 from his original asking price of $6500.00.

What a great opportunity to have a major piece of art by the world's most famous Pueblo Indian Potters!

Traditionally hand crafted with native clay by Maria, stone burnished to a high shine, then decorated with the feather design by her son Popovi Da. Together they pit fired their pottery to the deep black using wood and dried sheep dung.

Dimensions are 5 1/4" tall by 7 1/2" diameter. Signed Maria + Popovi.

There is some wear from handling as pictured. No cracks, chips or restoration. Inside is a small area of wax that doesn't want to come out easily, so we left it.

This is a fine example of San Ildefonso Pueblo pottery by the world's most famous mother and son artists, Maria Martinez and Popovi Da.
