Antonita, or Toni, was a daughter of Fred and Helen Cordero. Her brother was George Cordero. Toni, George, George’s daughter Buffy, and their cousin Tim Cordero all made storyteller figurines because of the influence of Helen Cordero. She taught all of them the fundamentals and any storyteller made by any of the younger generation is immediately recognizable as a product of a Cordero. They all resemble in some sense the work of Helen.
This male is dressed in the manner of Helen’s male figurines. There are two boys on his shoulders, two on his legs and one clinging to the back of his shirt. None of the young Cordero potters continued making pottery after Helen passed away.
