[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9557183, member: 16407"]I think [USER=13814]@stracci[/USER] knows a lot... The designs and colors seem about right for Hopi, but the shape is unusual and is more common in Mexican Mata Ortiz. Hopi pottery generally has a signature painted on, and not incised, which is more common in Mata Ortiz. Some fading, or, more accurately, places where the pigments have literally rubbed off, is not uncommon. I have pots like that. And the browner area, called a fire cloud, is an indication it was fired in a traditional outdoor kiln.[/QUOTE]
