Native American Miniature Pots...who made them?

Hi everyone,
I *think* these two miniature pots are Acoma and Hopi. The one I think is Acoma has a signature I cannot decipher and the one I think is Hopi just has an X for a signature. Am I right in my assessment ? thanks for any comments.

 

The first one might be Acoma, but it appears more likely to be Jemez, based on the design pattern, and the fact that it was decorated with acrylic paint (and apparently touched up with a black marker) rather than traditional pigments. It is also a decorated purchased greenware pot, made from a mold (you can still see the mold lines on the bottom and sides.)

Jemez potters are also more likely to use their initials in signing, rather than their names. It might be Angela Waquie.

The other one isn't Hopi or Native American. It's Mexican, from the village of Mata Ortiz, in northern Chihuahua. None of the 400 or so potters working there claim any tribal affiliation, and the pottery making tradition in the village dates back only to the 1980s. The "X" is just a decoration, not a signature. If signed, the Mata Ortiz potters incise their names into the pot before it is fired.

 

Awesome info, Taupou! Thanks so much. I had no idea. Thanks again for being so helpful to me when I ask for help. I truly appreciate it.
