This large pot has been beautifully crafted by San Juan potters Dominguita Sisneros and her mother Tomasita Reyes Montoya. This is a large heavy pot, it measures 11" tall and 9 1/2" across. It is signed by both Dominguita and Tomasita on the bottom. It shows a beautiful kiva step, rain cloud design and is in great vintage condition. (Because of the size and weight of this pot, I recommend it be picked up in person.)
Born in 1942, Dominguita Sisneros Naranjo was taught how to make pottery the San Juan way by her mother, Tomasita Reyes Montoya 1899-1978). Tomasita was one of the eight women who restarted the San Juan pottery tradition in the 1930s.
Dominguita was a regular participant in the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show. She usually signed her pieces "Dominguita Sisneros San Juan Pueblo New Mexico". She also often collaborated with her mother. Those pots are signed on the bottom by both women.
