Rare Mid Century Cochiti Pueblo Polychrome Pottery Offerings Dish with Floral Design
This beautiful vintage Cochiti Pueblo Pottery offerings dish, features a stunning hand-painted Polychrome flower design, accented with intricate cross-hatching symbols, which we believe was to represent rain. Interesting the design also includes a "spirit break", a break in the decorative lines going around the pot, which metaphorically releases the spirit of the potter from their pot.
Dating to around the Mid-Century era (1940s-1950s), it was acquired by us, along with other items, from the estate of an English collector. It is handmade using an age-old coiled technique, fired for many hours, likely in the traditional way, in an outside fire pit. Traditional Cochiti pottery is known for its mineral, black or vegetal pigments, painted with designs of rain, clouds, animals and flowers on cream pots. This piece as, do all the items we have from this estate, note the area in which it originated, in pencil to its base.

Buyer’s Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.
