Maria Martinez Pottery C3812DEarly pottery made by Maria was generally decorated by her husband Julian and it would either be signed Marie or Marie & Julian, however, there are always exceptions to every absolute.  Another absolute is that all plain black vessels void of decoration were signed Maria Poveka.  This small black jar deviates from the norm in that is it signed Marie S.I.P., an indication that it was made in the early 1920s when Maria was signing her name as Marie.
