Maria and Julian were responsible for the revival of pottery production at San Ildefonso and largely responsible for the overall revival in interest in pueblo pottery from all pueblos. Maria was making beautiful pottery and Julian was adding to that beauty with his painting skills.
This shallow bowl features a combination of birds, rain clouds and eagle feathers in an almost identical arrangement as one in the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture which is dated circa 1940.
