Wright's Indian Art > Pottery > Other > Clarence Cruz (Khuu Khaayay) (San Juan Pueblo (Okey-Owingeh)) > Black Micaceous Functional Bowl
Pure and shapely in form, absolutely traditional from clay to firing, and - according to the artist -completely functional! This Northern New Mexico bowl glitters with the tiny bits of mica inherent in the clay. Used for cooking and eating for centuries, this sort of micaceous clay vessel was the kitchen ware of Taos, Picuris, and the other northern Pueblos. Just a few potters take the time and care to make functional pieces today, and Clarence is one of those few who keep prices reasonable. Whether or not you decide to try cooking in this bowl, it will command admiring attention. On the table or on a shelf, the precise, unadorned beauty of the shape will nourish the soul. Unlike his other pieces, this bowl is deliberately left unsigned, since it is functional as well as lovely to look at. Other bowls are available, to make a set, for instance. Inquire by e-mail or call us for details. |
