Avanyu Design Black-on-black Jar signed Santana/Adam - C3736C
Maria and Julian had four sons: Adam (born 1903), John (born 1915), Popovi Da (born 1922), and Philip (born 1925). Adam's wife was Santana and it was she who worked with Maria following the death of Julian in 1943. Santana and Adam also collaborated on pottery. Santana made the pottery and Adam painted the designs. Adam also did the firing of their pottery. Adam surely was the one who gathered the clay for Santana and she most likely did all the clay processing.
This San Ildefonso Pueblo jar is one of the most beautiful of those I have seen by Santana and Adam..
