This is an authentic hand-coiled pottery bowl from the San Juan Pueblo (Ohkay Owingeh), New Mexico. The piece displays the distinctive red-brown surface with black fire-clouds and hand-burnished finish that is characteristic of traditional San Juan pottery. Origin: San Juan Pueblo (Ohkay Owingeh), New Mexico. Period: Late 19th to early 20th century.

Type: Hand-coiled pottery bowl, traditionally fired outdoors. Material: Clay with polished red slip and natural fire-clouds. 11.5" diameter x 5.5" high (please verify exact dimensions). Finish: Burnished surface with visible fire-clouds from firing process. Some scratches, scuffs, and firing irregularities consistent with its handmade nature.

No major cracks or repairs observed. San Juan Pueblo pottery is highly regarded among collectors of Native American ceramics. This bowl's simple rounded form, burnished red surface, and smoky black fire-clouds reflect the Pueblo tradition before the mid-20th century revival styles.
