Marianita Roybal (1843-1910) is the earliest recognized southwest potter and mother of Tonita Pena. Reference: "Three great potters of San Ildefonso and their legacy: Tonita Pena, Marianita Roybal, Dominguita Pino" (Jonathan Batkin, American Indian Art Magazine. Vol. 16, No. 4, Autumn 1991). Marianita Roybal's sister Maximiliana is considered one of the first painters of Maria Martinez pottery and painted many of Maria Martinez's early unsigned polychrome pottery.
