Item Description

Presenting an extraordinary work of art from the talented potter Johnathan Naranjo, the Sgraffito Etched Corn Maiden Vase stands as a stunning testament to the rich tradition of Santa Clara pottery. This remarkable piece features a masterfully etched depiction of the Corn Maiden as the central figure, surrounded by intricate, related imagery that weaves a narrative of cultural significance and reverence for nature. The attention to detail in this vase is nothing short of astounding, making it a captivating addition to any collection.

Measuring 8.5 inches in height and 5.6 inches in diameter at its widest point, this vase is not only visually striking but also serves as a functional piece of art. The Corn Maiden, a powerful symbol of fertility and sustenance in Native American culture, is beautifully rendered, showcasing Johnathan's exceptional skill and artistry. Each element of the design reflects his deep respect for tradition and his commitment to preserving the stories and meanings embedded in his work.

Johnathan Naranjo, born in 1987, is a prominent potter from the Santa Clara Pueblo, carrying forward a rich artistic legacy rooted in his family. As the son of celebrated potter Forest Naranjo and the grandson of the esteemed Bernice Naranjo, Johnathan grew up in an environment steeped in creativity and tradition. From a young age, he began working with clay, gradually developing his unique style that harmonizes traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics.

His pottery is characterized by meticulous coil-building and stone-polishing methods, which highlight his profound understanding of the medium. Johnathan's innovative firing process is particularly noteworthy; he skillfully determines the optimal moment to remove his pots from the firing pit, achieving a rich dark brown hue instead of the more common black finish. This technique enables him to create a diverse palette of colors in his work, especially in his sgraffito designs, where varying depths of incised lines yield different shades and textures.

In recent years, Johnathan's artistry has garnered significant recognition in the art world. He has received numerous awards for his exceptional work, including the prestigious “Tony Da” Award at the Santa Fe Indian Market in 2013, which honors potters for their innovative contributions to the craft. His accolades continued with a First Place award in the Best of Category at the same market in 2014, along with subsequent awards at the Heard Indian Market and the Southwest Indian Art Fair. Such recognition speaks volumes about his talent and the profound impact of his work on the contemporary pottery scene.

As a leading figure among a new generation of potters, Johnathan Naranjo stands at the forefront of bridging ancient traditions with modern artistic expression. His ability to infuse traditional methods with contemporary flair not only honors his heritage but also captivates collectors and art enthusiasts alike. The Sgraffito Etched Corn Maiden Vase is more than just a decorative object; it is a celebration of culture, nature, and the enduring legacy of Native American artistry. As Johnathan continues to explore the depths of his craft, his work is sure to appreciate in value, making this piece a wise investment for art lovers and a cherished addition to any collection.
