1930s San Ildefonso Jar by Tonita Roybal 1860-1948, measures 3.25'' x 4.5'', Tonita Roybal has been called, ''One of the finest potters of the twentieth century. She learned to make pottery from her mother, Dominguita Pino Martinez (1860-1948). After 1920 and the advent of black-on-black pottery, Tonita invented the red-on-red style with the white outlines.By 1925 Tonita was at the peak of her career. Her early death in 1945 left only a small amount of creative and innovative work that still inspires us with it's unique use of varied Native designs from pre-historic to regional in influence.''
