Hi There- does anyone know the origin or age of this pot? It is about 6" across and 3 1/2" high. Hand painted and shows wear and age. Thank you helping identify!

It's Hopi, from northern Arizona. Probably dates to mid-20th century.
The "wear" isn't necessarily an indication or result of age. It apparently has had water damage, causing the loss of slip on the outside. Traditional Native American pottery is not glazed, and is therefore not waterproof. The damage will considerably reduce the value.
Thanks so much for you help Canyon Road. I thought it might be hopi but wasn't sure.
Take Care and Thanks again. K
