Juanita and Antonio Peña

Special Offer: This rare small black-on-black jar has been reduced in price by the owner from its original price of $750 to a new price of $475. Pottery by this couple is not readily available, so this is an excellent opportunity for any collector.

This is a beautifully decorated black-on-black small jar that incorporates a design around the neck resembling a Greek key chain, under which is a chain of matte black clouds, a refreshing change from the often used feather and Avanyu designs.

Juanita and Tony apparently were active in the early 1920s through perhaps the 1940s.

This jar is in excellent condition, however, as happens with early blackware, the painted design is rather faint, but is fully visible.
