    Hi all.
    I have this small jar that at first I thought was a Japanese ink well, but it has Santa Clara on the bottom so I knew it wasn't then.
    But theres something on top of the Santa Clara that I can't make out?
    It starts with a capital P and the rest I can't tell, and then the number 976.
    Does anyone know who made this?
    Thank you for any help!

    Maybe Pat + Margie (Naranjo) ?

    Naranjo seems to be a common name for potters of the Santa Clara Pueblo, and your piece certainly looks like a lot of the pieces from there!
