Santana and Adam Martinez, San Ildefonso Pueblo Potters

SPECIAL OFFER: We have acquired an original wedding invitation for the wedding of Santana and Adam Martinez in 1926. We are including this invitation with the purchase of this jar.

Maria’s oldest son, Adam (1901-2000?), and his wife, Santana (1909-2002), were recognized potters in their own right—even though they are mostly associated with having helped Maria with her pottery. Santana painted designs on pottery and Adam assisted in firing pottery for Maria. This small jar is evidence of the quality of their work. It is well shaped, beautifully burnished, and finely painted. It is co-signed .

What a pleasant surprise it was to acquire an original wedding invitation for the wedding of Santana and Adam Martinez. They were married in 1926. We are including this invitation with the purchase of this jar signed Santana / Adam. This is the only Santana and Adam piece of pottery and only one wedding invitation.
