Three Native Pots.

3 little pots the little basket I think is either Tesuque or Jemenez and dates from the 50,s I think the pie crust Pot it is tiny 1/1/2 inches tall might be Acoma and possibly from the 30,s. The largerone rediish with brown design I have no idea, All are unmarked and with the exception of the blob on the little piecrust pot undamaged, On another note I HOPE EVERYONE is staying safe and healthy, I have been in quarantine since March, and just when I was starting to feel comfortable venturing out and having people in my home Bang our numbers of infections, hospitalizations are just racing upwards and our Governor seem reluctant to address it, (I live in Texas)

 

Did someone shoot the piecrust pot?

 

dont know dont think so, It looks like a blob of somekind

 

I think you are correct with the ID of the Jemez (rather than Jemenez) "basket" on the left, and the center one being from Acoma. The redware jar on the right may be Hopi. @Taupou can tell you more.

 

Jemez and Tesuque were the only two pueblos that made the poster paint pottery. Both used similar design patterns, but usually Tesuque clay fired beige or tan, while Jemez clay was usually more orange. It's about the only way to tell a real difference.

The dark spot on the Acoma pot is most likely a "fire cloud," something that often occurred during the firing. Potters didn't like it, but some collectors see it as proof that it was fired in a traditional outside bonfire, as opposed to the electric kilns used today. It usually means that a piece of burning fuel/wood came in direct contact with the pot, causing the discoloration.

The third pot is Hopi. Of the three, Hopi potters have always been the most "traditional" in their pottery, and even today, very few use electric kilns. Fire clouds on Hopi pottery often result in a lighter, yellowish color on the orange clay body.

I would say that all three probably date to about the same time period, which I would say is circa 1940/early 1950s.

 

Thank you so much everybody,will dig out a few more Great info @Taupou
