      This is contemporary raku studio pottery, more correctly called "American raku" or post-firing reduction. It's low-fired, and porous, so is for decorative use only.

      Here's a link to a page that explains more about the post-firing reduction process, and how it differs from traditional Japanese Raku: http://americanraku.com/raku.htm

      I probably should have mentioned that raku pottery like this isn't related in any way to anything Native American. It's a type of pottery which is generally credited to being started by American potter Paul Soldner in the 1960's, but which is now made by studio potters all over the world.

      The name "Raku" comes from a traditional Japanese pottery, but American raku isn't the same thing as Japanese Raku.

      Thank you for the reference to the Raku, wondering if we can figure out which artist may have made it, and it's age? Have added a couple more pictures. One of which appears to be the signature on the bottom, difficult to read, but may look familiar to someone.
