Featured Pueblo dough bowl, 1880s

I just wanted to share these new finds with all my peeps here on the forum.

We have just acquired three pots from my deceased Mother-in-law's estate.
She had a Native pottery collection, and these are some of her pieces.
I wasn't sure at first, but after some research online, I think this is a historic Zia dough bowl, circa 1880's. It is quite large at 14" in diameter.








And these two are from Acoma Pueblo, marked on the bottom. Both about 8" in diameter.
These are maybe from the 1970s.




All three together

 

Here is a similar dough bowl from a pottery website. The imagery is almost the same.

 

nice pottery !!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Komo! I'm thrilled!

 

With stunning justification!

 

If Komo declares it's nice, then it's nice!
'Cause he knows what's what!

 

Beautiful! (Is there an emoji for drooling?)

 

Congrats stracci- a real museum piece,don't let the cat sleep in it (or anything else) !

 

Gorgeous, stracci. That Zia bowl is a stunner.
You have told us about your Mother-in-law before, she must have been an amazing lady, with a good eye for quality and beauty.

 

Thanks Bosko! He would definitely fit in there! I'll keep my eye on him

 

Thanks AJ! She was a classy lady, and she liked nice things. She had pottery in different rooms all over the house, so we didn't realize how much she actually had.

 

I agree! And the three look good displayed together.

 

those are beautiful @stracci , the dough bowl is my favourite

 

The more I look at it, the more I love it!

 

There is still more pottery that we need to retrieve from her house, including another similar dough bowl, but the decoration is mostly worn away.
There are also several pots from Picuris Pueblo and Taos Pueblo that are not painted, but are still really lovely.
When I get them I will post them here!

 

Those are super- great! Thanks for sharing them!

 

most beautiful!!

 

Beautiful pottery! Thanks for sharing, @stracci

 

I went to Acoma, years ago, it’s the most wonderful place.
