I don't know much about this piece. Inherited it from my father who spent a great deal of time "Out West". As a child he lived on the Sioux Standing Rock Reservation.
The piece is approx. 15"x 15" with an opening of 8". It seems to be roughly thrown out of grey clay. It seems to be more of a utility piece. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The rounded bottom, and the "splashed paint" decorating technique indicate that it is definitely not Native American. Other than that, I can't tell you for sure where it is from, but it looks like a fairly recent decorator item.
May be from Mexico?? He's had this piece for at least 25 years.
Definitely could be Mexican. In terms of pottery, 25 years old is "fairly recent." : )
