$3,800.00

18″ high by 16″ wide

This is one of the absolute largest jars we have ever received from Thomas. He surprised himself on his ability to coil this in the traditional style as well as fire it outside! The risk factor on outdoor firing this size piece is so huge. What a grand accomplishment. He calls it a butterfly design. You can see that pattern at different angles throughout the jar. The floral patterns on the top and the bottom blend well with the butterfly patterns. It is a privilege to show you something so unique.

Thomas Tenorio

Thomas Tenorio, was given the Indian name of “U-Nah-Thee-Wah” when he was born into the Pueblo of Santo Domingo in 1963. He is the grandson of Pete Aguilar and the son of Trinidad Aguilar and Anacita Tenorio. Thomas felt that the ancient traditional method of pottery making was dying within his Pueblo, so he was inspired to try to resurrect this long standing tradition.He creates traditional polychrome pots, often with a contemporary flare with designs. Working in clay since 1972, he is a self taught potter.
