Set of Four Jemez Hand-Painted Pottery Pieces – Wedding Vase, Canoe, Bowl & Bird Effigy
Collection of four hand-painted pottery pieces from Jemez Pueblo, including a wedding vase, canoe-form dish, bowl, and bird effigy vessel. Each piece is decorated with bold geometric and feather motifs outlined in black, painted in a vivid palette of pink, yellow, green, blue, purple, and orange over cream and natural clay grounds. The wedding vase features the traditional dual spout and central handle, symbolizing unity, while the canoe dish displays stylized lightning and cloud elements. The rounded bowl carries stepped and kiva-inspired designs, and the bird effigy vessel is modeled with an open cavity and expressive painted details. Together, these works showcase the colorful and creative decorative tradition of late 20th-century Jemez pottery, ideal for collectors of Pueblo art or Southwestern folk ceramics.
