Native American Santa Clara Miniature Wedding Vase
Native American Santa Clara Miniature Pottery Wedding Vase by Margaret and Luther Gutierrez, signed by the artist and measures 1.5''H x 1.25''W, FYI: ''Margaret (1936-2018) and Luther (1911-1987) Gutierrez were a brother and sister team. Both learned the traditional way from their parents and began producing pottery together in the 1960's. Their first works were mostly polychrome jars, bowls and wedding vases decorated with avanyu, rain, cloud and lightning designs. In the 1970's they began producing their trademark animal and other figures using the same slips and pigments they'd used in earlier works. When Luther died, Margaret continued making pottery with Luther's daughter Pauline but Pauline died shortly thereafter. Margaret still works with her great-niece Stephanie Naranjo. Margaret would make the pottery and Luther, her brother, would paint the surface.''
