This gorgeous, sculptured jar with a kiva step opening was made by Polly Rose Folwell. It is signed with the artist's name but not dated. It was originally purchased in 1988 by the previous owner. The beautiful red body of the jar has an amazing burnish that is mirror-like. The artist then created a black accent around the rim through additional heat application.
Santa Clara Pueblo artist Polly Rose Folwell (1962- ) Quah-eh (Little Rain) is the granddaughter of Rose Naranjo; daughter of Jody Folwell; sister of Susan Folwell and Paul Folwell; mother of Jody Sue Folwell Lazaro. Polly Rose was trained in pottery making by her mother, Jody. Her mother's influence is strong. Both artists engrave, incise, and paint bold designs on buffware. Polly's work is innovative in technique and powerful in content. She is following a new path with courage and strength of conviction.
