Hopi-Tewa Pottery Jar by Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo, Southwestern Pueblo Olla
About the Item
This exquisite Pueblo ceramic jar (olla) is a stunning example of Hopi-Tewa craftsmanship, created by the renowned potter Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo. Using a traditional yucca-tip brush, Nampeyo has meticulously painted the jar with a beautiful polychrome design, showcasing her mastery of the art form. The jar measures 5 ¼ inches in height and 10 ¼ inches in diameter, and is signed by the artist, ensuring its authenticity. Crafted by hand, the jar features intricate red and black slip glazes, and has been pit-fired and burnished to a rich golden brown finish.
Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo, born into a family of legendary Pueblo potters, was taught the art of pottery from a young age by her mother, Rachel Namingha Nampeyo, and her great-grandmother, the famous Nampeyo of Hano (1858-1942). Known by her Native American name, Own-ya-kwa-vi, meaning "Display of Clouds," Priscilla continues the family tradition of creating timeless, culturally significant pieces that reflect the beauty and heritage of the Hopi and Tewa peoples.

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.
