Vintage Santa Clara Seed Pot
This Vintage Santa Clara Seed Pot by Vickie Martinez Tafoya is exactly the collectible red-ware you want to own! Vickie hand built this vase by coiling and pinching the coils smooth until the shape was perfect. She carved out Anvanyu, the water serpent as he displays his lightning tongue. It was stone polished to achieve the traditional contrast. It's 4-3/8" tall and about 5-1/4" wide and is signed. It's in very good, used condition, circa 1990's. A wonderful accent for your home or office, this Vintage Santa Clara Seed Pot is museum quality, southwest art!
Vickie (1967- ) is an award winning artisan and was taught by her mother Barbara Martinez and her grandmother, Flora Naranjo. She is referenced in Schaaf's "Pueblo Indian Pottery: 750 Artist Biographies" and Schiffer's "Pueblo and Navajo Contemporary Pottery".
