Nampeyo Vessel ASM# GP899-x-8
In July of 1926, Harold S. Gladwin, Director of Gila Pueblo Foundation
in Globe, Arizona, purchased examples of the stages in pottery manufacture
from Nampeyo. Included in the series is this bowl. Although not an actual set per se, since several different
shapes of pottery are represented, it does give a good idea of how the
artist made her pottery. Of particular interest is an unfired bowl with
incurved rim, having Nampeyo's name scrawled across the base. This unfinished
pottery well illustrates the gray color of the unfired clay that turns
yellow to orange only after firing.
21 cm diameter (ASM# GP899-x-8)
