Navajo and Jemez Pottery with Native American Inspired Items
Item Details
An assortment of Native American pottery and Native American inspired collectibles. Includes a nice Navajo horsehair-fired wedding vase inscribed with traditional geometrical motifs, offering a peak to the red clay foundation, and signed ‘Tannia’. The larger of the two small vintage pitchers is a Jemez piece, created when the Jemez Pueblo used poster paints to decorate their pottery, placing the piece between the 1920s to the 1970s; the worn paint suggests an older piece. The small brown and black stone polished pitcher appears to be vintage Puebloan as well. Two colorful ceramic figurines represent ‘Chief Blue Eagle’ and ‘Princess Neffie’ of the Lumbee tribe. Finally, two jointed plastic Indian dolls (circa 1960s) have long black hair, blinking brown eyes, headbands, and dresses of felt.

Jemez pitcher has worn paint.
