I purchased this set years back at an estate sale just because I loved it. However, we're downsizing now, and am going to be selling them in the near future. I have researched 3 piece Native American wedding set, and other ways. I cannot find anything similar. They all came with a white sticker on the bottom with numbers (see pic. #3), but other than that, they are not signed.
I would like to know how to refer to this set i.e. wedding set, the Tribe and possible value. I showed them to a friend who only told me possible Tourist pieces and date 1940's/1950's.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

It isn't Native American. This is traditional pottery from Quibor, in the state of Lara, Venezuela. The area is known for its pottery with its unique design patterns. Here is an eBay listing, with the distinctive spiral and red "comb" decoration, signed Quibor, Lara, Venezuela: 381979747563
CanyanRoad: Thank you so much! Would you consider this a wedding set? I'm stumped on what the 3 pieces are for, or do you think they never meant to be with each other as a matched set? Or they are just 3 pottery pieces? Thanks again!
Not a set, just three souvenir pottery pieces. The one with the two bowls joined by a handle is a form that dates back to pre Columbian pottery. No connection to weddings.
Thanks again Canyon Road! I really appreciate it!
