[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 13324962, member: 16283"]Just picked up this Dine' (Navajo) Wedding vase. It's signed 'S.B. Claw' (Silas & Bertha Claw) the well-known potters.They revolutionized Diné pottery with their unconventional subject matter and colors. [URL]https://kinggalleries.com/brand/claw-silas-1913-2002-bertha-claw-b-1926/[/URL] This could authentic Claw or by one of their imitators. Actual Claw pieces look to have been signed 'ClAW' and 'CLAW', had both curved and flat upper straps/handles-just not certain about the rendering of the horned toad ? Some of Silas applique work is more precise than other examples. Height 7 7/8" tall, they used both varnish and pinon pitch coating,oil and acrylic paint,and from what I've seen felt pen (Sharpie ?).
