The listing, NEMADJI POTTERY has ended.
Multi-colored swirl pattern. . The colors are blue, and white mostly.. Its a very nice old piece of Nemadji pottery. Made in USA, actually from clay from Minnesota's Arrowhead Region.
These old pots are very collectible and make a nice colorful display if you are collecting different ones. No two are ever alike. The special painting technique used to give the pottery its unique look was developed in 1929 by Eric Hellman. This pottery was first made in 1923, BUT it is not made by Native Americans, it is manufactured. The only connection to Minnesota's Ojibway Tribe is the Name, Nemadji, which roughly translates as"Lefthand." While never produced by Indians, the pottery was promoted as being reminiscent of ancient indian pottery--overtime, it became known as Indian Pottery.
And so this pottery should be collected as pottery made in the USA / or USA pottery
It is a good time to start a collection of pretty USA pottery, while it is still under priced
