Vintage San Juan/Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Pottery Bowl

Description: Vintage Revival Period San Juan Pueblo / Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Pottery Bowl It measures approximately 3 3/4" H x 6 1/2" W. Please examine all pictures and the short video very closely as they constitute the majority of the description. This is a beautiful vintage bowl that came from the same collection as another we have listed that was dated 1939. It matches the pottery done during that time known as the Revival period. This came from an estate sale along with several other older pieces. If this is truly from 1939, it was likely made by one of the 7 original potters that were known for the San Juan pottery revival in the 1930's, making this a very historic and rare piece.From the Kings Gallery and the Salazar Rio del Norte Center: Pottery from San Juan Pueblo (today known as Ohkay Ohwingeh) has long been prized. Before 1900, San Juan pottery was either red-on-tan or polished black and usually not decorated. The slip used on the pottery was purchased from Spanish-Americans of Abiquiu. In the 1930s Regina Cata, a Spanish woman who had married into the pueblo, introduced a new style of pottery. Regina organized a group of potters, including Reyecita A. Trujillo and Tomasita Montoya, whose pots the museum is fortunate to have acquired. The group of women potters studied ancient Potsuwi’i incised pottery shards dating from around 1450-1500. The shards had been discovered in the abandoned ancestral village of San Juan, across the Rio Grande from the current pueblo. This new style of pottery consisted mostly of red ware. The rim and base of the pots are usually polished red with an unslipped, buff-colored band in between. The band is either carved and decorated with red, buff, and white matte paints or incised with a micaceous slip, which is applied before the firing of the pot. Designs are typically geometric patterns, flowers, feathers, kiva steps, spirals, rainbows and sun/cloud patterns.Be sure to check out our store for similar items PLEASE read the information below and ask any questions prior to bidding.___________________________ ShippingWe are always happy to combine shipping when we can do it in a safe and practical manner that keeps your purchases from being damaged.
