Dunlap, Carmelita – Jar with Feather and Flower Designs (1970s)

Carmelita Dunlap is one of the San Ildefonso potters best known for her large vessels.  This is a classic jar with a sharp shoulder and sloping neck. It is painted with a feather and flower pattern.  The jar was fired a glassy black.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Carmelita Dunlap”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Definitely a traditional classic of her work!
