This is one of Frederica Antonio’s iconic “infinity” bowls.  The bowl is made from Acoma clay and then painted with bee-weed and clay slips.  The designs are all painted by hand using a yucca brush.  First, they are painted horizontally, then painted vertically, and then she fills in the squares to create the design.  This bowl has a cloud pattern on the rim.  The bowl is built so that the rim turns inward.  The bottom half is a checkerboard design painted with four different colors.  First she painted the squares, then fills in the colors, then paints the lines OVER the top of the squares a second time.  This style of design is amongst her most time-consuming.   It is signed, “F. V. Antonio:”.

Frederica Antonio

Frederica Antonio is an award winning potter from Acoma. She is known for her intricately painted pottery. She is such an exceptional painter, specializing in super complex patterns. Some people say her work reminds them of crossword puzzles. Her completed pieces are definitely eye dazzlers.

She is a sister of Melissa Antonio and a daughter of Mildred Antonio. Each piece is coil built. Still painting with a traditional yucca brush, her designs are a series of fine vertical and horizontal lines which are then filled in to create larger images in the squares. She often paints Kokopelli and cloud patterns. Frederica enjoys using her underlying spiritualism which she combines with her exquisite precision.
