This is a stunning large bowl by Betty Tafoya.  She was taught to make pottery by her husband, Lee Tafoya, a son of Margaret Tafoya.  While they often collaborated on pottery throughout his career this bowl is signed by Betty alone.  It has a deeply carved avanyu as the design.  The shape is a classic bowl form and it is beautifully polished.  Betty was well known for the polishing on her pottery and taught that art to her daughter, Linda Tafoya..  The bowl is  in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
