    However, the listing in the link describes the pottery as Native American, and it is not.

    George and Georgene Garrett were husband and wife, who had a small pottery in Phoenix in the 1970's-1980's. They produced souvenir giftware that had a "Southwest" or "Indian" theme. They were not Native American. It would be considered Studio Pottery.

    The daughter of the couple gave this information on the old eBay Pottery Board in response to a question about the GG signature on a similar pot.

    Unlike Native American black on black pottery, it was made with a commercial black clay (available through most pottery supply companies), glazed with a wax-resist technique, and fired in a kiln. Some of their pieces were poured in molds (with the seams still showing), rather than being individually thrown on a potter's wheel.

    Pueblo potters hand coil their pots, using local clay, which turns black only when reduction fired in an outdoor bonfire.

    I bought a Pueblo piece from the maker. She showed my how they hand polish the stuff with pebbles. Wonderful.
