Acoma Pot by Marietta JuanicoEarly 21st Century2.5\" H x 3\" DFrom a Private Colorado CollectionExcellent Condition22-0934Marietta Juanico learned to make pottery from her mother, Frances Concho, and grandmother, Helen Patricio, both respected Acoma Pueblo potters. When she was six, her grandmother started teaching her to make small pots. \"By the time I was in high school, I was good enough to sell with my grandmother on the Mesa Top at Acoma,\" says Marietta. \"I made small and medium sized pots until after I was married. Then, my mother-in-law, Marie Juanico, encouraged me to build larger pots.\" Over time, Marietta has made pots from 1 inch to 24 inches high.Marietta\'s pottery is elegant and graceful, spanning the range of shapes from wide mouthed ollas to long neck vases. She often captures the shapes and forms of the old water jars and vases in her smaller works, then uses traditional designs found on larger pieces to decorate them. The walls of her pots are thin and smooth, the painting clean and precise. She uses mostly traditional, but some contemporary, designs, several of which were passed down to her from her grandmother - in particular the black-on-white fine-line Starburst Rain pattern and the orange squares and brown triangles that make up the ancient Butterfly pattern.Welcome to Matt Wood\'s Antique American Indian Art, LLC (AAIA) items
