Acoma Pueblo Fine-line Jar [SOLD]

Lucy Lewis is a potter that most collectors recognize because she was at the forefront of potters following World War II when pueblo pottery began to be collected in earnest.  One of her best-known designs was this complicated fine line style where the lines crossed in every direction.  One must remember that these were painted using a brush fashioned from the leaf of a yucca plant.  That certainly must have added to the complexity.

Condition:  This jar is in very good condition.  There is only one very small spall mark and one has to search for it to find it.

Provenance: from an Albuquerque gentleman
