Santo Domingo pottery excelled in the early 20th century and the pottery by 3 related women, the Aguilars, was especially notable. Felipita
Garcia's work is among the most innovative and exquisite work by these 3 women. This jar is attributed to her.
This jar has the distinctive Aguilar shape and quality. While the central band design is traditional at Santo Domingo, the scale and design of the upper and lower bands indicate Felipita Garcia's work. The wide black band is particularly innovative.
This jar is beautifully formed and painted. It is equally good on all 4 sides and has been preserved in almost "as new" condition.
