Lucy Lewis-Michelle

 

Lucy Lewis was a Native American pottery from New Mexico. She is known for her black on white decorative ceramics made using traditional techniques. The piece is from 1975 called the Fineline Star and Mountain Design Bowl with Lightening Rim .  It is native fired and has a beautiful coloration to the white clay slip.This bowl is coil built and painted with bee-weed (a plant) for the black and red clay slip on the rim.  The bowl has alternating fine-line painted star patterns with triangular mountain patterns. I love how the rim is unusual it is corrugated with a lightning design.
