- Lot Description
Native American, Arizona, Hopi Nation, ca. 1905 to 1910. A fabulous and early example of pottery from the famous Nampayo family. Attributed to Fannie, daughter of Nampeyo - the most famous of all Hopi potters - but showing great influence by the master herself. This canteen was done in a redware revival style that was made famous by her mother and copied by her sister Annie as well. Domed canteen with flat bottom, domed top, twin handles and small spout. It is decorated in black and gray pigments, the designs are definitely Nampeyo's, showing some experimentation on her usual Sikyatki Revival designs. Size: 6.5" W x 8" H (16.5 cm x 20.3 cm)
Per Steve Elmore of Steve Elmore Indian Art, "Nampeyo (1856-1942) is the matriarch of modern Hopi pottery and is credited with single-handedly reviving the pottery tradition at Hopi. She began her career as a traditional, tribal potter in the 1870s in Northern Arizona, at the Tewa village on First Mesa at Hopi. Nampeyo evolved over decades into a major modernist artist and founder of the Sikyatki Revival art movement, which continues to this day. Beginning with traditional Hopi designs, then adding the ancient designs found on pottery from ancient Hopi villages such as Sikyatki and Awotovi, Nampeyo mastered traditional Hopi aesthetics before creating her own original abstract designs. She adapted her designs over the years, varying them in different ways, and adapting them for different pottery forms."
