Polychrome Canteen with Parrot by Frances P. Torivio [SOLD]

Frances Torivio was one of Acoma's finer potters. She was sister to Lolita Concho and mother of Lilly Salvador and Wanda Aragon. The entire family was comprised of outstanding potters.

The vessel is in excellent condition. There is some minor spalling of the clay but it is not significant. The piece is signed Frances P. Torivio Aak´u, New Mexico 1986.
