Eva Histia Wedding Vase Classic Acoma Pottery
Eva Histia, the famous matriarch of Acoma pottery has hand coiled and hand painted this wedding vase measuring 10 inches high by 7 inches wide. Eva is truly famous for her pottery whether traditional ollas and wedding vases, or effigies such as owls and turkey figures. Owning one of her creations is a must for any serious collection of American Indian pottery.
In a sad turn of events, Eva passed away around Christmas two years ago. The last time she is known to have produced pottery was that November. This is one of the last pieces she made and the unsteady hand of her 90+ years shows. Yet, the pottery has charm and represents an era of pueblo art that is passing fast.
In her lifetime, Eva had won a good number of awards in juried competition, including the prestigious Indian Market in Santa Fe. She has been featured in Dr. Gregory Schaaf's authoritative book Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies.
