This is wonderful and perfect Socorro bowl measuring 9.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep. It was discovered in 1988 on the Porter Ranch, 61 miles south of Grants New Mexico by Robert Darbey. It was sold by him to a private party from which I purchased it from last week. His original papers of authentication are included.
The bowl is a statement of perfection with jet black paint against a light gray slip; what is very unusual are two breaks in the top band (see photo 3). There is a slight haze of calcium on the bowl which accumulated over the ages – it has never been cleaned, only washed. Again, another example for the person or institution which demands only the very best. |
