The craftsmanship and cultural significance of this Native American pottery make it an exceptional find for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This piece measures: 4.5" x 4" x 3.5". It's a perfect display size! Piece is signed as shown. This piece also has a museum catalogue number attached. It was obtained from an estate where many of their pieces were lent to different museums for display-- we are unsure of any further providence/ displays. Chris Teller was born into the Isleta Pueblo in 1956. (Lucero is her married name). She grew up and learned to make pottery from her mother Stella. She began making pottery at the age of 25 and began selling pottery at the Santa Fe Indian Market before she was 30. She likes to make figures: storytellers, nativities and sculptures. Chris and her mother normally paint their storytellers with sleeping eyes, with a "singing" open mouth. Her babies are often also singing. The Tellers are the only Isleta Pueblo potters making storytellers from scratch. Their pottery is in high demand for its incredible beauty and quality. Please zoom in on photos to see condition
