Handmade Pot by Mary Small, Jemez Pueblo 2 3/4" high, 4" diameter
Est: $100 - $150
Handmade Pot by Mary Small, Jemez Pueblo Born in 1940, Mary Small is known for her distinctive and beautiful style. Her work is immediately recognized by the use of a unique gray slip incorporated in her polychrome creations. As a young adult she married Frank Tenorio of San Felipe and in the pueblo tradition, he moved to her home at Jemez. A few years later she divorced Frank and then married Ivan Small of Jemez. Mary participated in shows like the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show, the Albuquerque Indian Arts and Crafts Association Show and the Santa Fe Indian Market, beginning around 1973. She earned many ribbons during her career, including a First Prize at Santa Fe Indian Market in 198. Other ribbons came from the Heard Museum Guild Indian Arts Fair & Market, the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial and the New Mexico State Fair. Mary was also chosen as the Indian Arts and Crafts Association Artist of the Year in 2002. Working with her husband, Mary spent years experimenting with natural materials before she came up with her trademark blue/gray slip and her burnt red/orange designs. She also made some exceptionally large pottery and liked to inlay large turquoise stones in her wedding vases, often in the center of a swirling design of lightning bolts, corn plants and prayer feathers. This pot was made in 1989.
