About the Item

Large-scale Native American black ware or black on black pottery vessel. Made at the San Ildefonso Pueblo, circa 1890-1910. Santa Fe County, New Mexico. This piece was made before pieces were commonly signed. Created as a utilitarian vessel, it was used by the tribe members as you will notice the wear to the base from being placed on the sand. It was probably used for water storage. There are few examples of San Ildefonso pottery with this large-scale size and age making it a very rare and coveted example of Pueblo pottery. It is a museum worthy piece of Native American Art. The Pueblo was founded when people migrated from the Mesa Verde complex in Southern Colorado, by way of Bandelier (elevation about 7000 feet), just south of present-day Los Alamos, New Mexico. People thrived at Bandelier due to the rainfall and the ease of constructing living structures from the surrounding soft volcanic rock. But after a prolonged drought, the people moved down into the valleys of the Rio Grande around 1300 C.E. (Pueblo IV Era). The Rio Grande and other arroyos provided the water for irrigation. Black-on-Black pottery of the pueblo. Artifact at the Field Museum, Chicago The Spanish conquistadors tried to subdue the native people and force Catholicism on the native people during the early 17th century, which led to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The people withstood the Spaniards by climbing to the top of the Black Mesa. The siege ended with the surrender of the native people, but the Spanish gave the native people some freedom of religion and other self-governing rights. The people of San Ildefonso continued to lead an agricultural based economy until the early 20th century when Maria Martinez and her husband Julian Martinez rediscovered how to make the Black-on Black pottery for which San Ildefonso Pueblo would become famous.
