Additional Description:

From the Estate of Nancy Florsheim, Lake Forest, Illinois Nancy Florsheim amassed one of the best collections of Southwestern pottery in the U.S., according to one expert. While she often acquired the finest works, she also enjoyed collecting more modest pieces, including those offered in this sale – mostly pottery and folk art – and at prices estimated to be well within most enthusiasts’ means. A regular attendee of the annual Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Nancy Florsheim loved meeting the artists, buying from them directly and supporting their work. Of special note are offerings from well-known potters such as Joy Navasie and Helen Naha.
