This fine lady was
one-half of the famous potting duo of Margaret and Luther. Margaret
and Luther were siblings -- the children of another well known potting
combination -- Lela and Van. Lela and Van created a very distinctive
style based on multiple colored slips and paints and this style was
continued and modified somewhat by Margaret and Luther. Upon Luther's
death in 1989, Margaret continued to work with the assistance of
Luther's daughter Pauline, but Pauline died shortly thereafter. Since
that time, Margaret has continued the tradition alone creating fine
figurines and pots in a most unique style. More information may be
found in the Dillingham book "Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery"
page 176.
