I got this piece of Mexican pottery from my friend who said her parents got it in Mexico in possibly the early 1900s.

It is contemporary (1980s to the present) pottery from the village of Mata Ortiz in northern Chihuahua, like two of the other pots you posted about.
This one shows the influence of design patterns taken from pre-Columbian Casas Grandes pottery found in the nearby ruins of Paquime (on the outside), as well as the lizard design from Mimbres pottery (AD 1000–1130) in southern Arizona/New Mexico/northern Chihuahua.
