Rare 1920's Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo Barrel Form Black On Red Pottery Canteen

Description

Of all the shapes of pottery items made at Santo Domingo, the canteen is one of the least common. Santo Domingo canteens most often appear in a jug form with small lug handles. This is one of their more unusual examples done in the shape of a barrel or a keg; few of these barrel canteens still exist and were likely the work of one potter (two such canteens were once in the famous canteen collection of Robert Whiteside). Like the Whiteside examples, this piece is done not in the typical Santo Domingo black on cream but in a more unusual black on red color combination. However, the pierced jug handles, as well as designs, are typical of Santo domingo pottery. Circa 1920. Measures 7" long x  5 1/2" wide x 6 3/4" tall. In excellent original condition. No chips, cracks or repairs. Please study the pictures as they are part of the description. Payment in full is expected within 48 hours.  Free local pickup in Santa Fe. I pack and ship on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  No returns unless item is grossly misrepresented. Expedited shipping cost is to lower 48 states only.
