From the Nick and Suzanne Nicholas Collection we have a Jemez Polychrome Seed Jar by Mary Small, measures 3.5'' x 4.25'', beautiful gray-white-and terra cotta geometric jar, Mary Small (Jemez) learned the art of traditional pottery making by assisting her mother, Perfectita Toya. Mary was schooled in the ''old way'' of pottery making, and has mastered the art of processing clay from the earth, hand coiling and then the outdoor firing. Mary and her husband experimented with natural paints to come up with her easily recognizable unique blue/gray slip and burnt red/orange designs. Mary Small is a very talented potter and she has created her own unique look to traditional pottery.
