Category: Pottery | Posted by | Mon, Apr 9th 2018, 2:42pm
This pitcher was cleverly made in a human shape with a handle on the back side. He stands firmly without aid. This one dates to the late 1990s and was purchased from Adobe Gallery in 1997 and was made by Juana Leno (1917-2000) Syo-ee-mee (Turquoise).
Juana Leno - formerly Juana Louis Vallo - was one of the finest potters of the 20th century at Acoma Pueblo. She quietly worked every day producing extraordinary pottery without seeking acclaim. She was a wonderful woman and very modest about her talent to produce such fine pieces.
