Joy Navasie, Hopi/Tewa "Frog Woman" wedding vase ca. 1970s - 12 1/2" high excellent! (DV80)
This elegant and traditionally fired wedding vase was made by famed Hopi/Tewa potter Joy Navasie, also known as Frog Woman, which is the name she chose to honor her mother Paqua Naha (c. 1890–1955) the original Frog Woman.
This vase was purchased from the artist on the Hopi reservation in the 1970s for $75! The original owners lived in NM and traveled extensively to pueblos to support artists and amass an important collection of arts from both established and emerging artists. Now elders, they are beginning to let go of parts of their collection and this pot is one of those pieces. It is absolutely beautiful in its shape and design. The lighter color of red is indicative of the 1970s era. Other than some slight smudges on the black bee-weed in one area it is in excellent condition. The fired clouding in the vase indicates that it has been fired in the traditional way. Just fabulous!
Joy Navasie (also known as second Frog Woman or Yellow Flower; 1919–2012) was a Hopi-Tewa potter. Her work has been recognized globally. Navasie carries on the white ware pottery tradition from her mother, which she contends was developed around 1951 or 1952.
Joy Navasie's work can be found in numerous books and museums worldwide, and some spectacular pieces are featured in the 1974 Arizona Highways magazine.
