This San Juan Revival Polychrome Carved Jar is an excellent example of the mid-20th century revival style of San Juan pottery. The potter chose rain and cloud designs as her motif for the band surrounding the vessel body.
Rosita De Herrera and her sister, Dominguita Naranjo, along with their mother, Tomasita Montoya, were the predominant potters producing both styles of revival pottery at the pueblo in the last half of the 20th century. Their pottery was in demand by collectors and dealers.
