Caddo Rose

Caddo Rose beautifully captures the essence of traditional Caddo artistry through the depiction of a traditionally styled ceramic bottle. Resting gracefully on a vibrant striped blanket that fills the canvas, the tripod bottle’s intricate cross-hatched and spiraled engravings curl elegantly around its form. This detailed representation not only highlights the rich heritage of Caddo artistry but also reflects Starr Hardridge’s exceptional skill and vision.

The blanket’s vibrant spectrum of deep blue, bright red, lime green, and magenta creates a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the blackware bottle. The bouquet of fuschia roses nestled within the bottle’s graceful neck and surrounding its footed base adds a further layer of beauty, their lifelike petals rendered with such exquisite detail they seem almost tangible.

Caddo Rose is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity that stands as a testament to both the timeless beauty of Caddo artistry and Hardridge’s own artistic mastery.
