      It's traditionally-made Navajo pottery, made from local clay, fired outdoors in a bonfire, and then coated with pinon pine pitch while it is still red-hot from the fire.

      While it is made in a traditional manner, it is not a traditional form. It's usually called a wedding vase, and has been made by the pueblo tribes of New Mexico since the early 1900's, but there is no documentation of the form ever existing before being "invented" by a Santa Fe trader, who had the Santa Clara potters make them for his curio shop. They have been a popular souvenir tourist item ever since, and today are made by tribes across the nation, and even imported from China!

      I agree & I worked the 3 mesas area back in the 70's.

      If you take your fingernail and scratch the bottom of the pot (gently) you should be able to smell the pine pitch.
