Martina Vigil (1856-1916) and Florentino Montoya (1858-1918) have been praised as among the finest artisans at San Ildefonso. Jonathan Batkin has illustrated a couple of their works in his book Pottery of the Pueblos of New Mexico 1700-1940, and he illustrated additional ones in a 1987 issue of American Indian Art Magazine article "Martina Vigil and Florentino Montoya: Master Potters of San Ildefonso and Cochiti Pueblos."
