Historic San Felipe Pottery Basket by Candelaria
Historic San Felipe Pottery Basket Bowl by Candelaria Montano (1900-1985), measures 6'' x 6'' and is signed on the bottom, bird designs on both sides, FYI: ''San Felipe Pueblo ceased entirely making decorated pottery. It was not until the 20th century when that was revived. A lone potter-Candelaria Monta¤o-revived painted pottery production at the pueblo possibly as early as the 1950s. It is not known what she used as guidance for designs since there were none to use as models. Following her death around 1985, no other potter followed in her pursuits.''
