    This is very heavy. It's solid blackware. It's seven inches tall and very heavy. No signatures. Anyone have any ideas on it?

    Their work featured carved and matte decorations monochrome, polychrome, and black on black pottery. ... This style of blackware is achieved by using a polishing stone to smooth over a glossy finish prior to the firing of the pot creating a highly glossy design that has become the hallmark of pueblo pottery

    I don't see much for Eastern Island blackware but your image does look like it. I am wondering if any Mexican potters of blackware might have made similar objects.
