STELLA TELLER ISLETA PUEBLO, N. MEASURES 5 1/2″ WIDE BY 3 1/4″ TALL. STELLA TELLER IS A NOTED POTTER WHO HAS EARNED RECOGNITION FOR THE EXCELLENCE OF HER POTTERY CREATIONS IN NUMEROUS JURIED ART SHOWS AND BY MUSEUMS. SHE HAS A VERY VERSATILE STYLE AND IS RECOGNIZED FOR HER BEAUTIFUL STORYTELLERS WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN PUBLIC ART COLLECTIONS AND MUSEUMS. ONE OF STELLA’S EFFIGY TURTLE JARS IS AMONG A TRAVELING COLLECTION OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE. SHE HAS DEVELOPED SEVEN STANDARD SLIPS FOR USE ON HER POTTERY WITH COLOR VARIATIONS ACHIEVED BY DILUTING OR MIXING THE ELEMENTS OF CLAY, MINERAL AND VEGETAL MATTER TO ACHIEVE THE RIGHT HUE. HER GREAT-GRANDMOTHER’S RIVER STONE IS USED TO RUB AGAINST THE HIGHLY REFINED SLIP AND OILS TO CREATE A SMOOTH, SHINY FINISH. TRADITIONAL FIRING OF THE POTS IS DONE OUTSIDE. THE QUALITY AND UNIQUENESS OF HER WORK, AND HER 4 DAUGHTER’S, WHO FOLLOWED IN HER FOOTSTEPS, CAN BE SEEN BY THE VERSATILITY AND VARIETY OF THEIR WORK. DEMAND FOR THE TELLER FAMILY POTTER IS HIGH BECAUSE OF ITS INTRINSIC BEAUTY AND THE RECOGNITION OF ITS PREMIER QUALITY AND EXCEPTIONAL DIVERSITY OF DESIGN. THIS POT IS A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF STELLA’S WORK WITH A CREAM SLIP AND BROWN AND CREAM DESIGN WITH CLAY COLORED EDGING AT THE TOP. THERE ARE NORMAL COLOR VARIATIONS IN THE SLIP AND SOME NORMAL LIGHT WEAR ON THE UPPER CORNERS FROM AGE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL SCRATCHES THAT APPEAR NOT TO HAVE THE GLAZE OVER THEM (MAY BE FROM THE FIRING) AND A SMALL 1/4 LINE THAT IS A LIGHT INK SPOT. I’M SORRY, I DID IT WHEN MEASURING WITH A PEN IN MY HAND. IT IS PROBABLY REMOVABLE, BUT NOT BEING AN EXPERT AND IN FEAR OF DAMAGING THIS BEAUTIFUL POT I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE EXPERTS. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL PICTURES AND ANGLES. POT IS SIGNED STELLA TELLER, ISLETA, N. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
