    Description

    Private seller.
    Very rare Maria and Husband Julian Martinez Pottery. Signed "Marie + Julian" - San Ildephonso Pueblo 1925-1943 3.5" x 5.5" High Polish Black on Black Fair to Good Condition - Surface wear as pictured. Earlier jars like this are relatively rare and often come with some wear. This is the "Holy Grail" of Native pottery. --- Maria Poveka Martinez (1884-1980) is probably the most famous of all pueblo potters. She and her husband, Julian, discovered in 1918 how to produce the now-famous black-on-black pottery, and they spent the remainder of their careers perfecting and producing it for museums and collectors worldwide.
