Rare and Historic "Sunrise Chocolate Brown" Pottery
Rare and Historic "Sunrise Chocolate Brown" Pottery
In 1978 Maria Martinez's niece Carmelita Dunlap and her son Carlos Sunrise of San Ildefonso Pueblo introduced for the 1st time in history this Beautiful Brown on Brown tone of pottery. Like the Black tone pottery which was 1st introduced in the 16th century, and the Black on Black tone introduced by Maria Martinez around 1917, This Chocolate tone has superseded the black on black with its stunning elegance and ability's to change to different tones of Chocolate from its natural original tone after coming surviving the pit-fire. They actually look like a different piece when a different intensity of light, such as sunlight, evening light change throughout the day.
Only five master potters' history in Carmelita Dunlap's immediate family has held the secret to its process. It has not been shared with the rest of the Pueblo, thus making it some of the rarest and collectible Native American pottery ever! Each potter produced pieces that were unique in a color different from each other, making them even rarer. Only so many pieces by each potter have been made it a particular tone of chocolate, Like a Rare color diamond.
To date these are the number of pieces to survive the Pit Fire, made by the five master potters:
