San Ildefonso Pottery
Maria Poveka Martinez, San Ildefonso Pueblo, 3.5" x 8.5"
Maria was the "alpha" Pueblo potter of the 20th century. Her work consistently demands the highest price at auction. This piece is her distinctive black pottery with a gun-metal finish. This piece was made in the 1980's toward the end of her career, thus the signature "Maria Poveka."
