Marie Chino Vintage Acoma Pueblo Wide Seed Pot with Connecting Oval Design (JM74)
Beautiful low and wide Acoma Pueblo seed pot painted in a connecting oval design. Signed M. Chino by renowned Acoma potter Marie Zieu Chino (1907-1982).
Marie Zieu Chino is one of the great matriarchs of Acoma Pueblo. Marie, along with Lucy M. Lewis and Jessie Garcia are recognized as the three most important Acoma potters during the 1950s. Together the three friends led the revival of ancient pottery forms and designs from the Tularosa, Mimbres, Anasazi and other ancient cultures from the region in central New Mexico. Her children and grandchildren are numerous and include potters Grace Chino, Rose Chino, Tena Garcia, Carol Chino, and others. Her pottery forms are renowned for being a perfect blend of form and design. Marie became particularly well known for her amazingly uniform fine-line designs in black-on-white hand-coiled pottery.
In 1922, Marie won her first ribbon at the Santa Fe Indian Market. She was only fifteen. She didn't participate in Indian Market again for years, then went on to receive numerous awards in Santa Fe for her pottery from 1970-1982. In 1998 the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts recognized Marie with a "Lifetime Achievement Award."
