Santa Clara Pottery Jar by Dominquita Sisneros Naranjo, measures 3''H x 5''D, signed by artist, FYI: ''Dominguita Sisneros Naranjo (1942 - ) Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo has a long history of pottery production going back probably a thousand years, but by 1890 production had come to a complete halt. Perhaps it was the pueblo's close location to Espanola, NM (about 6 miles) and the availability there of commercial goods that made pottery production unnecessary. In 1930, Regina Cata organized a pottery study group with the intent of reviving pottery production; eight potters studied ancient potsherds of wares made at their pueblo in earlier times and selected Potsuwi'i Incised Ware (1450-1500) as a basis for a contemporary pottery type. Dominguita Sisneros Naranjo learned from her mother, Tomasita Montoya, who was one of the original eight potters.
