Joy Navasie (1919-2012)

\"Second Frog Woman - Yellow Flower -Joy Navasie is among the most famous of Hopi-Tewa potters. She learned the skill from her famous mother, Pawua-Naha, the first Frog Woman, who had developed white-slipped pottery in the mid-1950s. Joy Navasie picked up the tradition and continued it until her retirement in 1995. Her daughters are now continuing the tradition.

Joy Navasie picked up the tradition and continued it until her retirement in 1995. Now, her daughters (Marianne Navasie, Leona Navasie, Natelle Lee, Loretta Navasie Koshiway and Grace Lomahquahu) have continued the tradition.

Joy Navasie signed her pottery with a frog hallmark, as did her mother. There is a difference in the way they each drew the feet of the frog. Paqua Naha used short straight toes and Joy Navasie used webbed toes.

This jar is beautifully decorated with stylized bird features and feathers in true Hopi fashion. The dark brick red and strong black paints stand out beautifully against the pure white slip.

The jar is signed on the bottom with the traditional frog hallmark of Joy Navasie.\"
