How
to make a Purchase
  Thomas
Tenorio
does both traditional and contemporary polychrome jars, bowls
and miniatures. He is the grandson of Pete Aguilar and the son
of Trinidad Aguilar and Anacita Tenorio. (Photo
at the 2007 Santa Fe Indian Market)
The
pot at top. left, is a
handcoiled and pit fired vase made using all natural colors.
Thomas has been making the transition from kiln firing and
the use of commercial paints so if you are thinking these
pots seem less brilliant and 'perfect' it's because the traditional
way is nature's way and filled with the natural variations
found in nature. This
vase measures 5.75 inches tall by 5 inches wide.Your

design is not on it's usual 10-inch pot. It's a near miniature
using traditional paints and made in the traditional way. Great
for those who have always admired this design but not had the
space to collect it. It measures 4.25 inches tall by 3.25 inches
wide. Your price $195 ~Item #SD252.

been working with clay since 1972 and is basically self-taught

Indian Ceremonial plus at shows in Texas, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York.
