Description
Traditional handmade Native American Indian Pottery from Indigenous Pueblos of the Southwest. Guaranteed authentic.
Celebrate the rich, earthy textures of northern New Mexico with this exquisite contemporary jar by recognized Pojoaque/Taos artist Glenn Gomez. Hand-coiled entirely from native micaceous clay—a distinct, mica-rich earth prized by the northern pueblos for its durability and natural sparkle—this vessel stands out immediately due to its beautifully sculpted, undulating rim. Rather than relying on painted motifs, Gomez allows the raw, glittering surface of the clay to serve as the primary design element.
Through a masterful control of the traditional outdoor firing process, often utilizing an oxygen-reduction atmosphere, Gomez has achieved a stunning, dark metallic finish punctuated by subtle, organic fire clouds (the darker blushing where the flames or ashes kissed the clay). Unpainted and unpolished, this piece relies on the artist’s exceptional sense of form and the inherent, sparkling beauty of the earth itself, making it a highly textural and visually captivating addition to any contemporary fine art collection.
