    Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me who sign this piece that I inherited.

    We will need to see a few views of the entire object, as well as a complete view of the signature (the one photo you posted shows only half), and any other markings on it.

    We're good but... we're not that good! Firstly, what is your item? It looks as if it might be a painting but it's posted on the Pottery, Glass and Porcelain forum. Photographs of the front of the entire object please, the enture back and a good quality close-up of the signature. Also close-up photographs of any/all stickers, labels or handwritten notations. Then tell us in what part of the world you found it and what you were told about it.

    It looks quite like this one that has a Hozoni Pottery sticker on it. Perhaps you can compare it to yours.

    I don't know the history of Hozoni but Google found the info below, perhaps someone else will have more information and will know if this is correct and might apply to yours.

    Info from an answer about a different pot
    https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/149011-hozoni-pottery-hand-painted-by-native-am
    "Hozoni" is one of the lines manufactured by Cedar Mesa Pottery factory in Blanding, Utah. The company hires Native American workers to decorate and sign the pots. It is not Native American pottery, in that the workers simply decorate the greenware pieces to the specifications of the the factory, they do not create the pottery itself. The company is not owned by Native Americans, but it does employ Native Americans to work in the factory.

    There is also a "Hozoni Pottery" in Bluff, Utah, which also apparently produces factory-made giftware with a southwest design, decorated and signed by Native American workers.

    Value on the secondary market of either one is strictly as decorative souvenir giftware, not to be confused with that of actual Native American pottery hand-made by a Nataive American potter."
