<p>[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2307405, member: 45"]It appears to be Jemez, from Jemez Pueblo, north of Albuquerque. It probably dates to the 1960s, or newer, since it appears to be decorated with acrylic paint, which tends to chip over time. Acrylics became available to publo potters in the 1960s, along with a "revival" of interest in pottery at Jemez. Jemez potters for awhile tended to copy design patterns from other pueblos, or incorporate elements of them in their pottery, since they had pretty much lost any traditional styles of their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't think the abrasion on the bottom is natural, or due to age.
