🏺 Item Information
• Style & Form: It is designed in a classic Southwestern or Native American-inspired canteen shape. It features a flat unglazed base, a domed front face, and an oversized flared spout.
• Decoration Technique: The front face showcases sgraffito-style hand-carved decoration. The central design depicts a stylized floral or plant branch motif enclosed in a circle, surrounded by an incised wavy or scalloped ribbon border.
• Materials: It is crafted from a speckled buff/sandstone stoneware or earthenware body. The decorative areas are accented with a dark brown or slate-colored slip/glaze.
• Signature: The piece features a distinct incised handwritten artist's signature along the lower back rim edge (visible in your second image). While these types of studio pottery pieces are frequently signed, they are often the work of independent regional artisans rather than major commercial pottery houses
