Of Tewa heritage of the San Ildefonso Pueblo in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico, Maria Martinez became world-renowned for her black-on-black pottery. Learning to make pots as a child from her aunt, Maria was known as a potter among her peers. Edgar Hewett, New Mexico archaeologist, had excavated some 17th century black pottery shards and, seeking to revive this type of pottery, Hewett was led to Maria. Through trial and error, Maria rediscovered the art of making black pottery. She found that smothering a cool fire with dried cow manure trapped the smoke, and that by using a special type of paint on top of a burnished surface, in combination with trapping the smoke and the low temperature of the fire resulted in turning a red-clay-pot black. Maria, who made but never painted the pottery, collaborated with her husband Julian, who not only assisted in the gathering of the clay and the building the fire, and, most importantly, painting the motif on the pottery. Julian painted Maria’s pottery until his death in 1943. During the early years of pottery making, Julian became a janitor at the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe. It was here that he and Maria studied the pottery in the display cases, observing form, motif and technique. Maria was very unselfish with her talent, and she gave pottery lessons to other women in her village as well as in to potters in neighboring pueblos. After her husband’s death, she worked with her sons, Popovi Da and Adam, and her daughter-in-law, Santana in continuing her work throughout her life. Maria Martinez Pottery – The Signatures. By 1923, Maria began signing Marie on pieces made by her and Julian. His name was omitted because making pottery was woman’s work. Pottery made by Maria and painted by Julian, signed Marie, was most probably made between 1920 and 1925. Pottery made by Maria and painted by Julian between 1925 and 1943 bears the dual signature Marie + Julian. By 1925, and until his death in 1943, Maria shared the signature with Julian. Following the death of Julian, their son Adam and his wife Santana helped Maria with the design and firing of her pottery. Pieces made between 1943 and 1954 are signed Maria + Santana. When Maria began signing pottery, she was told, probably by Chapman, that Marie was a more familiar name than Maria to the non-Indian public. She therefore signed the name Marie for about 30 years. Following the publication of Alice Marriott’s book, Maria: The Potter of San Ildefonso, she began signing her true name, Maria. Around the mid-1950s, Popovi Da began working with his mother, helping her with designing and firing her pottery. They began to co-sign pieces Maria – Popovi , and Popovi started putting a date on each piece, probably around 1959. Maria often made small pieces of pottery without the assistance of her husband, her son, or her daughter-in-law. These are always highly polished, un-decorated pieces and are usually quite spectacular and graceful and exhibit the true nature of her genius. They are signed Maria Poveka. So naturally, they may have minor cosmetic flaws, loss of sheen or some usage marks, unless otherwise noted.

Maria & Julian Martinez Black 9 Pottery Bowl. This pot has been a family treasure since m. Y father collected this pot while. Traveling in New Mexico. It’s the classic San Ildefonso style, black matte design contrasting with high gloss. It’s signed on the bottom Marie & Julian. It’s in good condition, some scuffs and surface wear and a water stain on the inside. No cracks or hairlines. In the early 1900′s, Julian worked with Dr. Edgar Lee Hewett, Director of the Museum of New Mexico with an excavation team of anthropologists and archeologists from the Smithsonian Institution to excavate Avanyu black-on-black pottery. Julian and Maria worked to recreate a finish similar to the ancient pottery. They developed a new form of dung-firing pottery, which creates a low oxygen environment. Maria turned the pots and Julian painted them. This pot is clearly signed by both. Julian developed a way to mix ink and clay to create the matte black designs that would not burn off during firing. These pots aren’t glazed- to create the high gloss the unfired pot is burnished to a hard sheen to create the high gloss finish.
