<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 482344, member: 45&quot;]However, the listing in the link describes the pottery as Native American, and it is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>George and Georgene Garrett were husband and wife, who had a small pottery in Phoenix in the 1970&#039;s-1980&#039;s. They produced souvenir giftware that had a &quot;Southwest&quot; or &quot;Indian&quot; theme. They were not Native American. It would be considered Studio Pottery.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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&nbsp; the seams still showing), rather than being individually thrown on a potter&#039;s wheel.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Pueblo potters hand coil their pots, using local clay, which turns black only when reduction fired in an outdoor bonfire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
