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.
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.
