Black decorated pot
Dublin Core
Title
Black decorated pot
Description
The pot is small and made from a black clay and uses a reflective glaze to form a decorative pattern. The pattern is made up of slightly curved triangles and rectangles.
Juan Tafoya lived from 1949 to 2006 and began making pottery in 1970. He was a very experimental potter and experimented with different firing techniques to create a brown/black c olor combination in the clay as well as using turquois as a decorative element. Much of his work used a sgraffito technique to create a textured background to his design.
"Juan Tafoya San Ildefonso 1978" is carved into the bottom.
