  • Blackware Bowl & Saucer (1 set): Pueblo-inspired black pottery with incised feather and wave designs. Bowl approx. 2.5" H × 4" W; saucer approx. 5.5" diameter.

Historical Note: Hopi pottery continues a centuries-old tradition of coiled clay vessels decorated with symbolic geometric designs representing water, crops, and migration. The Hector Marrero studio piece reflects the influence of Puerto Rican modernist pottery of the mid-20th century, celebrated for blending indigenous Caribbean motifs with contemporary design.
