This is a large and very beautiful swirl decorated blackware pottery bowl by Severa Tafoya of Santa Clara Pueblo, circa 1950s, or so. Bowl is 10" in diameter and 3 " high at the rim, and it is in perfect original condition with a very highly polished black glaze. Severa Gutierrez Tafoya (1890-1973) was an accomplished potter and produced work for a good part of her life, with her best work done in the 1950s and '60s. The swirl design on the inside of the bowl is perfectly executed, and it reminds me of some of the melon jars with the ribbing or swirling on the outside. This was just found in New England. Shipping is calculated Priority mail. There is a 30 day money back inspection period, and email for more information. Thank you.

Offered in this sale an adorable tiny - miniature - Indian pottery pot that I am told is likely Acoma Pueblo. Which I posted it I had thought it to be Santa Clara Pueblo made by Margaret and Luther Gutierrez, however, a fellow Ebay member wrote to tell me it is more likely Acoma
possibly
Mary Luther. It is signed ML on the underside of the base which you can see illustrated in the 2nd image. Collectors more specialized in Native American pottery will perhaps have a better idea of the makers mark. It measures a mere 1 5/8" tall x 1 1/8" in diameter at its widest. The condition is very good. There are no chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines or restoration.
Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.
I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is $3.50
