SOLD Rita Malie Vintage Hand-painted Acoma Pueblo Pot concrete what a character

what a character

of which there are a wonderful variety out there

who created many collages in a similar vein early in her career

I believe these date to the first quarter of the 20th century

SOLD Rita Malie Vintage Hand-painted Acoma Pueblo Pot concrete what a characterI love Acoma pueblo pottery for the graphic hand painted patterns but am pretty fussy about the pieces I like usually I'm drawn to much old pieces, but this one, c. 1970s or so I believe and made by well known potter Rita Malie, is I think a really lovely more contemporary example. Great all the way around, and with enough age to it to have a nice patina. 3 1 2 w x 3 3 16 t; 2 1 2 across inside lip. Very good condition, with one tiny paint scuff on
