Santa Clara Pueblo Blackware Vase Signed "N" — 3" Tall
A finely crafted blackware vase attributed to the Santa Clara Pueblo tradition, measuring approximately 3 inches in height and 2.75 inches in diameter. This hand-coiled piece exhibits a smooth, glossy finish achieved through traditional reduction firing techniques. The vase features a minimalist teardrop form and is signed with an incised "N" on the base.
The signature "N" may correspond to a member of the Naranjo family, a prominent lineage of Santa Clara potters. Notable artists such as Flora, Nicolasa, and Reycita Naranjo have been known to sign their works with their full names. However, without additional identifying marks, the specific attribution remains uncertain.
This piece exemplifies the elegant simplicity characteristic of mid-20th-century Santa Clara blackware pottery, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Native American ceramics.
