Adam and Santana Martinez are recognized as great potters themselves although they are mostly associated with helping Adam's mother Maria. They have made black-on-black pottery their entire lives. This collaboration pottery between them has been seen for over 50 years. Adams role involved firing the pottery and Santana painted designs for Maria. I picked this piece because the black ware pottery is what they are most known for. I like that even though the entire piece is back the variations from glossy to matte show a pattern. I also like how smooth the piece is. This pattern shape that resembles feathers is seen throughout their art pieces.
