Select The Pueblo Of Choice!
Pueblo pottery is one of our specialties. In our Southwest Indian gallery, your selections could cover a range from several thousand dollars to less than one hundred dollars. Regardless of cost, you will know that each piece of Native American pottery has passed our critical examination as to quality of workmanship and aesthetics of design. We only buy from artists we know to be Native Americans, representing their respective Indian pueblo, using the classic methods of pueblo pottery fabrication–thus assuring authenticity.
Pottery for the Southwest Native American is a "cottage industry," clay from the hillside behind their house, coiled and formed and decorated in their home, and traditionally fired in their back yard. We frequently visit most of the better-known American Indian potters. You will interested to go to our "Meet The Artists" page, where we have interviews with pueblo potters such as Steve Lucas, Jake Koopee, Grace Medicine Flower and Cliff Roller. We also have a page with pictures of Nampeyo, the famous Hopi pueblo potter, and some of her historic pueblo pottery.
Although the emphasis is on pueblo pottery, because of the sheer number of artists, we also have Navajo pottery. The Navajos being a nomadic Indian tribe, depended on water-proof baskets, rather than pottery. Baskets did not break. Recently, several outstanding Navajo artists have come to the scene. You will find these artists by looking on our page, "More Pottery".
