A striking example of traditional San Ildefonso Pueblo blackware pottery, this hand-coiled bowl features the signature highly polished black surface for which famed potter Maria Martinez is celebrated. The rounded form with a wide open mouth showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and deep, lustrous finish achieved through traditional outdoor firing methods. Signed Marie on the base—an early signature style used by Maria Martinez, often dating to her collaborative period with her husband Julian or shortly thereafter. Approx. 6.5” diameter x 5” high.

Condition: Excellent with minor surface wear consistent with age.
