<p>[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2307413, member: 45"]The bold, black designs do have a similarity to Santo Domingo (now Kewa) pottery, but Kewa tends to feature stylized flower and leaf patterns, and rarely, if ever, the fine-line hatching. That's why this bowl looks like a combination of borrowed patterns, and could be mistaken for Acoma or Kewa, depending on what part of the pot you're looking at, which, along with the clay body color itself, points to Jemez.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kewa clay fires tends to fire red, Acoma is white.
