She specialized in traditional blackware and redware, including polished black-on-black pieces, deeply carved black jars, bowls, and wedding vases. She was a cousin of the renowned matriarch Margaret Tafoya and learned pottery-making from her aunt (often identified as Sarafina\/Sara Fina Tafoya) and her grandmother. Family connections place her in the extended Gutierrez-Tafoya lineage; sources describe her as a daughter of Sylvania Naranjo and a granddaughter of Santana Gutierrez (a sister of Geronimo Tafoya). She was married to José (Joe) A. Tafoya and was the mother of Thomas Tafoya, Laura Pino, and Leona Trujillo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50601116336293,"sku":"260929-09","price":2480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/260929-09_6.jpg?v=1791392286","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/santa-clara-pueblo-water-jar-pottery-by-madeline-tafoya","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
