Vintage Navajo Etched 4" W x 3" T Seed Pot Vase, Signed EM Dine "94" Art Pottery

 

This exquisite piece of Navajo art pottery is a beautifully etched seed pot vase, crafted in 1994 by the talented artist with the initials EM. The vase showcases the intricate Sgraffitto technique, where designs are carefully incised through the paint layer into the clay while still soft. This method allows for stunning detail and contrast in the finished piece.

 

The vase features traditional Navajo symbols and patterns, which may include representations of mountains, rain, clouds, animals, or other elements significant to Navajo culture. Each symbol etched into this pot is considered a prayer to the Great Spirit, making this piece not just visually striking but also spiritually meaningful.

 

This seed pot vase is a testament to the skill and artistry of Navajo potters. Its compact size and intricate detailing make it a perfect addition to any collection of Native American art or as a standalone decorative piece.

Short biography of the potter:

Unfortunately, I don't have specific information about the potter with initials EM from online search results. Navajo (Diné) potters are known for their skilled etching and use of traditional symbols in their work2. The artist's use of "Dine" in their signature likely refers to their Navajo heritage, as "Diné" is the name Navajo people use for themselves, meaning "The People."
