Santa Clara & Santo Domingo Pueblo Pottery Pair — Hand-Painted Bowl and Twisted-Handle Basket

A mid-century pair of Pueblo pottery vessels, likely the work of early-career or amateur artisans, each expressing traditional design influences in a charming, handmade style. The Santa Clara bowl features a polished brown surface with bold black and white geometric motifs, while the Santo Domingo (Kewa) basket presents a cream slip with red and black painted forms and a distinctive twisted clay handle accented by white dots.

These pieces illustrate the enduring vitality of Pueblo ceramic traditions and offer a genuine, folk-art character that speaks to their period of creation.
