@chris, I love your eclectic collection! Not all my pieces are large, I’m also attracted to smalls, especially animals. Your little Juan Tayfoya bear is nice and I love the sgraffito stone bird! Thanks for sharing😄

I only have a few pieces of pottery and, nothing of the caliber being shared here. These were found in antiques stores/malls and thrift stores. 1st photo: the figurine with tablita is signed + San Ildefonso Pueblo. The miniature black-on-black pottery is signed Birdell, Santa Clara. Wedding vase with corn signed LVB. The other 2 pots are signed + Jemez. 2nd photo: the micaceous wedding vase is signed + Taos. The bud vase is signed V. Tafoya, Jemez, N.M. The micaceous bowl is signed with initials, a design, and ‘87.

Late last year my younger sister was wed, and I gifted her this ca. 30’s-40’s Tohono O’odham wedding vase. This has been shared and was discussed previously in Birds, birds, and more birds , but I wanted to include it here.

@nanc9354 I really love your Santa Clara pitcher.
I have one more piece of Native American pottery that I forgot about. I got this bowl at the Eiteljorg Market the first year we went. It is by Cherokee Melvin Cornshucker (being from indiana, I love that name 
), and I still see him there almost every year.
It’s not native, but I’m going to add this vase that I inherited from my mom. Her brother was stationed overseas for decades, and he brought this back from Holland, I believe in either the late 50s or early 60s. For some reason I love the way it looks with my native art.

I picked up a Santa Clara Pot at a local on-line auction site by Flora and Glenda Naranjo. I was also excited to pick up this Turkey platter on the cheap to match my Turkey plates.

Mata Ortiz pottery is superb! I visited the community of Mata Ortiz twice and was able to attend pottery painting demonstrations and firings by Juan Quesada and his family. Good quality Mata Ortiz pottery is extremely smooth and thin walled. The clay they dig is actually a finer quality than that used at the Pueblos. And many of the highly detailed designs are painted with acouple hairs from a child. Here’s a few pictures:

This is an example of a finished piece that I purchased…all free hand:
Myself with Tavo Quesada and two of his pieces I purchased:
And a sweet young girl selling her family’s black on black pottery. Of course who could resist buying from her. As I recall they were around $20.00:
