    Hi everyone...I saved this little pot at an estate sale. It's all broken. But looks old. Wondering if this could be pre-Columbian, or some kind of early Acoma pot? Basically just looking for age and identification. It's about 3 1/2" tall.
    Thanks for any help. seed1.jpg seed2.jpg seed3.jpg seed4.jpg seed5.jpg seed1.jpg seed2.jpg seed3.jpg seed4.jpg

    The pot is early 1900s Acoma or Laguna. Both made similar pots during that time, that were difficult to positively identify as to which pueblo they came from.

    The bold, dark dividing lines and patterns point more to Laguna, but I've seen that same thick black band with four white lines in it on Acoma pots. One is illustrated in Hayes and Blom's Southwestern Pottery, Anasazi to Zuni book. Acoma pottery is often thinner, and therefore lighter weight, than Laguna's, but just based on the photos, I'd say Acoma.
