Navajo Cutaway Pottery Jar by Lorraine Williams
Native American Navajo Cutaway Bear Paw Pottery Jar by Lorraine Williams, measures 3'' x 3'' and is signed on the bottom, also features encised stairstep cloud designs, FYI: ''Lorraine Williams is one of the great innovators among Navajo potters. Lorraine was adept at making beads and sand paintings, and she was a weaver. ''But when I married George I saw pottery with new eyes.'' Her new eyes led to Lorraine's beginning with clay about 1980. She has created her own unique style of pottery, which is incised with traditional rug and Navajo designs, then painted and native fired. After the piece is fired it is covered in pine pitch, which is typical of all traditional Navajo pottery harkening back to when it was utilitarian. Lorraine has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as ''A Legacy of Generations.''
