Christina Naranjo Mary Cain Pottery - C3757B

Occasionally, members who work together will co-sign the finished items.  That is the case with this jar.  Mary Cain was a daughter of Christina Naranjo and it is most likely that Mary greatly assisted her mom with this jar.  Christina was 89 when she passed away in 1980 so it is likely that she needed assistance in polishing pottery as it is a laborious affair.  Mary Cain was 95 when she passed away in 2010 but would have been considerably younger at the time this jar was made.  The jar is co-signed with the names of both mother and daughter.
