Cleo Teissedre was a well known artist from Tucson, AZ. She was born on Aug. 31, 1930 and passed away on June 25, 2020. She was known for producing Native American-style Navajo Storyteller Pottery pieces. The figurines are hand-painted by Teissedre. The tile is hand glazed, the storytellers are hand painted, and the pottery is hand drawn. In the tile, sculpture and pottery line, you will never see two pieces that are exactly alike, because they are hand-done. Pottery figurines of Teissedre are increasing in price and are rarer as they disappear into private collections. No new pottery figurines are made.

Items that I sell that are marked vintage, antique or collectible may show some signs of wear to the original boxes or original package when available. See pictures for detail. All of my items come from a smoke-free environment. I do combine shipping on multiple items.
