<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10314047, member: 76316"]This is ~3 1/4" diameter, ~2 1/4" high, ~2" rim diameter, ~6 1/2 oz (~186 grams). The base is simply a ~3/4" flat spot, which contains her signature. The interior, an' the ground behind the dragon as well as her signature outlining of the images, are matte black. All else is so uniform an' highly polished that I don't believe it is simply burnished...but I don't know enough to comment further about it. I have read that her pots are coil-built, but the interior bears no indication of that; it is as smooth as the exterior. I am attracted to black BA pottery, but am grossly ignorant about the artists, techniques or history of pueblo work. Please tell me what you can about this fine piece; thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: I'll post another lovely (red) Santa Clara pot, also beautifully carved, probably tomorrow if not tonight a bit later.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]518223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518225[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518234[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
