Native American Pueblo Pottery Blackware Bowl by Celestina Naranjo (1912 1999)
Native American Santa Clara Pueblo Pottery Blackware Bowl Handmade and Signed by Celestina Tafoya Naranjo (1912 - 1999) c. This Santa Clara Pueblo Blackware Pottery Bowl has what may be an identification sticker on the bottom with the numbers 73. Reasoning then that this bowl was handmade in 1973, this is an almost 50 year old Native American artwork from the famed New Mexican Pueblo Pottery region.

The piece stands 3.5" Tall and is 5.25" Wide with etched geometric designs. It does have some wear as in scuffs and a few scratches as seen in the photos above.

This is a beautiful piece of Native American artwork and is signed by the artist. Celestina Tafoya Naranjo (1912 - 1999) was a potter from Santa Clara Pueblo. She learned the traditional Santa Clara way to make pottery from watching and working with her mother, Pasqualita Tafoya, as she was growing up. Celestina was making pottery for the marketplace by the early 1930's and made pottery almost the rest of her life. She later married Salvador Naranjo.

Celestina had an excellent reputation for her redware and polychromes, as well as her blackware plates and bowls. She signed most of her pieces: "Celestina Naranjo Santa Clara". Sometimes she added: "Pue" or "Pueblo" to that. This blackware piece has the full "Pueblo" afterwards.

She has exhibited at Santa Fe Indian Market and Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show. Among her favorite designs are rain clouds and kiva steps.
