About the Item
This rare and exceptional Tesuque Pueblo dough bowl, dating from circa 1875 to 1900, is a masterful example of 19th-century Southwestern Native American pottery. Hand-built and painted by a skilled artisan of the Tesuque Pueblo in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, this historic piece reflects the enduring cultural and artistic traditions of the Pueblo people.
Crafted from native clay and adorned with bold, hand-painted geometric and linear motifs, the bowl features a vibrant palette of deep red-orange, matte black, and warm tan slip glazes. These striking patterns not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also echo symbolic meanings tied to Tesuque Pueblo ceremonial life and daily use.
Measuring generously in size and meticulously shaped by hand, this utilitarian vessel was originally used for mixing and preparing dough—yet it stands today as a stunning work of Indigenous art. The natural patina, minor wear consistent with age, and visible hand-tooling marks speak to its authentic use and 19th-century origin.
Remarkably well-preserved, this museum-worthy dough bowl retains much of its original coloration and detail, making it a valuable acquisition for collectors of Native American pottery, Southwestern decor, or early Puebloan artifacts.
Authenticity guaranteed. Please contact us for a complete condition report or additional images. Expedited and secure shipping options available upon request.

Maria Martinez Blackware Pottery Jar, San Ildefonso Pueblo, Feather Design
By Native American Art
Located in Denver, CO
This exquisite blackware jar is an iconic work by famed San Ildefonso Pueblo artist Maria Martinez (1887–1980), one of the most celebrated Native American potters of the 20th century. Known for pioneering the black-on-black pottery technique, Martinez developed a unique style that combines a sleek, polished slip glaze with matte black designs—creating a dramatic contrast of light, shadow, and texture.
Featuring a classic feather motif, this hand-coiled jar beautifully reflects Pueblo symbolism and Martinez’s refined artistic vision. Measuring 4.5 inches high by 6.75 inches in diameter, with a 4-inch mouth opening, its elegant proportions and luminous surface make it a standout display piece.
