Blackware Pottery

Mike is fascinated by pottery in it's many forms. Today he came across Blackware Pottery made in San Ildefonso pueblo near Santa Fe, N.M. Marie/Maria Martinez (Maria Montoya Martinez) and her husband, Julian are credited with developing the art of black on black pottery and today can be quite valuable. Some pieces have fetched $10,000 or much more at auctions.
