This striking vintage blackware pottery bowl is a fine example of traditional handcrafted ceramic artistry. Measuring 3 inches wide, it features a smooth rounded form with matte black surface contrasted by a subtle polished geometric pattern, a hallmark of Native-inspired black-on-black pottery techniques. The piece is wheel-thrown or hand-coiled with a burnished finish, giving it both visual depth and tactile appeal.
Estimated to be mid-20th century, this small decorative bowl carries cultural and artistic value. Its compact size makes it ideal for display in curio cabinets, on shelves, or as part of a pottery collection.
