My first thought was Mexican, but then again the burn marks look right. bottom looks right. colors look right. The only thing that keeps me from dateing this as Antique is the signature, GN is not what I would want to see on something very old.. Indians of old would never sign anything, it was made to be used, signed things are Art works.made to say Look I made this.(understand?)
1920's and 30's is about what you would see.
What is it worth? this is a tuff one, it is cracked. Sorry I would just be guessing. I hope someone can tell you forsure..maybe pay the appraisal guys here and see what they say..Good Luck!
Re: Southwest Indian Pottery, early 20th Century
Thanks for the comments. Skinner's did reply to me last summer, Douglas Diehl told me the pot was made at the Zia Pueblo in the 1920's. It does have some value, even with the crack. Diehl thought it would fetch me upwards of $1200 if I consigned it to them for auction. I still have it, but might try to sell it soon. Kinda need the money....
