Lupita Martinez, San Ildefonso Pueblo Potter

Lupita Martinez (1918- 2006) signatureLupita Martinez (1918- 2006) was the niece of Maria and Julian Martinez through marriage to the son of Julian’s brother, Louis Martinez. I do not know if she was a full-time potter or an occasional potter.  She was, however, an excellent potter.

 

The twisted stem of this candlestick was beautifully executed and the stone polishing of the clay was exceptional. 

 

Condition: very good condition with no damage or repairs
