Michael Kanteena Bird Bowl Laguna Pottery
Michael Kanteena is mentioned in the authoritative book ``2000 Artist Biographies'' by Dr. Gregory Schaaf as follows:
Michael Kanteena describes his pottery on his business card as ``Contemporary & Pre-Columbian Recreations in Clay.'' We met him on two occasions and a found him to be a very personable young man. He expressed his sincere desire for his pottery to be accepted in a good way. His unique contribution is in his efforts to help revive ancient Pueblo pottery forms and styles. A growing circle of collectors are enthusiastic about his work.
Michel Kanteena is a Laguna potter who has been active in pottery making since about mid-nineties. His creations include black-on-white Anasazi revival jars, bowls, canteens, and figures.
The long bowl pictured here is a recreation of a Mimbres design. A bird's head and tail are formed at the opposite ends of the bowl, and the body of the bowl is painted in black and light peach-brown with fine lines and geometric designs.
