Description
This pitcher was handcrafted by Taos Pueblo artist Pam Lujan Hauer using traditional methods. Created from micaceous clay, pitchers were originally used as storage or serving vessels and are a traditional Taos form with a history stretching back centuries.
Hauer is one of a small group of artists making traditional pots in Taos Pueblo, making this a rare and valuable treasure and a unique celebration of centuries of Pueblo pottery making. The simplicity of the pottery reflects the tradition micaceous pottery is known for, where the natural shimmer of clay shines through in place of applied decoration.
Pitcher measures 8" long and 7-1/8"wiide, stands 6-1/2" tall
Our Guarantee of Authenticity
At the Indian Pueblo Store we guarantee that your purchase is an original and authentic work handcrafted by Native American artists as defined by the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. We ask our artists to complete an extensive certification process, providing a CIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) card and other documentation of their Native American heritage. Our team of experts carefully inspects every product to guarantee it is handcrafted using traditional, sustainable processes and natural materials of only the highest quality. We record the place and date of each purchase and pride ourselves in paying a fair price that allows artists to make a living practicing their craft. At a time when many commercially-made products are being sold as handcrafted Native American art, our in-depth purchase process allows us to guarantee the authenticity of every unique piece of fine art we offer. For more than 35 years, we have made it a priority to visit artists in their studio or home to purchase their latest handcrafted pieces and learn about their work. We have developed lasting relationships with artists, as well as dealers and collectors, and we take pride in being a trusted destination for fine Native American art.
