Natseway, Thomas – Mini Jar with Bear Handles (1986)
Thomas Natseway is one of the most renowned miniaturists in Pueblo pottery. Rarely does he make a piece that is over 1″ tall or wide! This is one of those amazing pieces in both design and form that makes one realize why he is so well-recognized for miniatures. The jar has a round body and a short neck. The body of the jar is painted with lighting designs. The rim also has a TINY lighting pattern. There are two bears as the handles on the top of the shoulder. The jar is signed, “Thomas Natseway”.
