A beautiful wedding vase made by potter Marie Gachupin Romero of Jemez Pueblo, born July 27, 1927, and died in 2007. She had been making pottery of the finest quality for over 50 years. The faces of her figurines are beautifully sculpted and always portray an angelic presence. She most often combined matte-paint and stone-polished slip in the same piece. Her specialty was figurative pottery, primarily storytellers and nacimientos.
