I found this and the other ollas and seed pots at a local thrift over the last couple months. I can't read the name on the base [kind of looks like Celes Ovelyn or something like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Celes and Evelyn Aguilar -Sta Clara Pueblo.
According to Gregory Schaaf, in his book "Pueblo Indian Pottery, 750 Artist Biographies," it was made by Celes Tafoya, who signed as "Celes Santa Clara Pueblo" on pottery she made herself, "Legoria + Celes" on pottery she made with her mother, and "Celes/Evelyn" on pottery she made with her daughter (Evelyn Tafoya Aguilar.)
Thank you CanyonRoad! this is one of my favorite pieces of Native American pottery in my collection.
