Acoma Turtle Polychrome Canteen Pottery
20th Century, signed. This Acoma Turtle Polychrome Canteen Pottery features a wonderful design with an effigy accent! Created by an artisan we were not able to identify other than the signature, the free-hand painting & hand building of the clay is exceptional. It displays an eye dazzler pattern with symbolic imagery close to the base. About 10-1/4" wide, 10-1/2" long & 8-1/4" tall. In very good condition with some glaze chips, see photos for closer inspection. Artist signed, R.H. Torivio & Acoma, N.M. This Acoma Turtle Polychrome Canteen Pottery is a unique piece of art that you'll love to show off in your home or office! The Torivio family of artisans have been creating as early as the 1900's. Along with R.H., nineteen members of the family are referenced in Schaaf's "Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies".
