Tesuque? Cochiti? Something else? Thanks to anyone and everyone for any help id-ing them.

    Reminds me of items you would see in a southwestern souvenir shop.
    1960s or later.
    And since this is an area I know nothing about, I look forward to what @Taupou has to say.

    Have hesitated to chime in on these since I am not sure. They do appear to be pueblo pottery with some age to them. The bottom of the second one exhibits a polacca C type finish which is indicative of late 19th century Hopi wares. Consequently, they could be Hopi/Tewa. The decoration of the first pot fits with this designation. However, something about the second one says Santo Domingo to me. As suggested above @Taupou would be the authority on these.

    I've narrowed first one down to either Cochiti or older Tesuque. The smaller bowl to either Santa Ana or Zia. If you can see black specks in the clay body, it would be Santa Ana, since they use basalt as temper.

    E0805094-0F96-493A-8BF9-EF5CF7ECA279.jpeg Here’s an attempt at close ups of the bottom of the 2nd pot— the temper looks more like whitish sand to me than black, but there’s some black flecks... I just can’t say. I took the pix thru a magnifying glass, so... E0805094-0F96-493A-8BF9-EF5CF7ECA279.jpeg

    Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been caught up in the fires burning across in the western US. Evacuated in the middle of the night, then the town I was evacuated to was evacuated. So power and internet is not always available, and no telling when it will be, or where I'll be. It's a very difficult time. But today for the first time I was able to read the "funnies" posts here again, which really helps.

    Taupou, your safety is much more important than replying to a querie here. But you being you, you do your best to get to the bottom of things and inform us anyway. Please stay safe.
    Maybe this thread will help too:
