Cochiti Pueblo
The slip on this pot is beautiful. There are small little hairline cracks around the pot which adds to the authentic look and design. This would make a great decorator piece. The size of this piece is 14 inches by 14 inches by 4 1/2 inches.
Cochiti Pueblo on the Rio Grande river in New Mexico is known for their hand hewn drums. Available in many sizes, from small child instrument to extra large coffee table size.
Laurencita Herrera (1912-1984) is the grandmother of Virgil Ortiz. Laurencita's pottery was typical of the era in which she worked, with a folk art style. She was not prolific and it is rare that we see much of her work come back to the market. This Canteen has 2 lizards with a corn stalk in the middle, and still has the original tag and Red Ribbon attached.
Ed Herrera, Cochiti Pueblo potter, creates Bear storytellers. This sweet natural brown bear has its little one riding on its back. The bear paw print on the side of her is a sign of strength and protection.
Edwin Herrera is from the Cochiti Pueblo and comes from the Oak clan. Ed uses natural clays and sands that he digs from the hills around Cochiti. His Bears and other pottery forms are all hand coiled, shaped and painted.
