Description

Teddy Lente Isleta Pueblo Pottery Lot (3) – Signed 1976

This listing features a group of three hand-crafted Native American pottery pieces attributed to Teddy Lente of Isleta Pueblo, one example clearly signed and dated 1976. Executed in a classic Southwest palette of cream slip with black and reddish-brown geometric decoration, the group includes a tall vase, a low rounded pot, and a shallow bowl.

The signed piece bears the inscription “Teddy Lente, Isleta N.M., 1976” on the underside, confirming origin and period. The remaining two pieces are stylistically consistent, sharing similar clay body, paint application, and form, and appear to be from the same maker or workshop tradition.

Together, these vessels present a cohesive display reflecting mid-20th-century Pueblo pottery aesthetics, suitable for collectors of Native American art or Southwest decor.
