Acoma 4 Color Parrot Jar by Grace Chino

Description

This is an excellent parrot jar by Grace Chino (1929-1994), a second-generation master potter from Acoma Pueblo. Grace is the best-known daughter of Marie Z. Chino, one of Four Matriarchs of the 20th century revival at Acoma. Grace collaborated closely with her mother and carried on her legacy. Marie and Grace were both honored in the landmark “7 Families In Pueblo Pottery” exhibit in 1974.


This piece features an attractive parrot motif with floral accents. It is thinly molded and painted with an attractive four-color palette. It is traditionally made of native Acoma clay and fired outdoors. It measures 8” high by 11” in diameter. An excellent addition to any collection of Pueblo masters.
