Designed with dual spouts, twin handles, and a central connecting bridge, the piece offers both sculptural presence and functional intrigue. The underside is marked and dated 11‑8‑54, adding provenance and collectible value.

Measuring 10" W x 3 3/8" D x 9 1/4" H, this unique vessel is ideal for collectors of ethnographic pottery, mid‑century ceramics, and decorative art objects. A rare and visually compelling addition to any curated interior or gallery display.

The vessel’s double‑chamber form, twin spouts, bridge connector, and geometric painted motifs strongly align with mid‑20th‑century interpretations of Southwestern / Pueblo pottery.

The date “11‑8‑54” and handwritten marking on the base suggest a studio potter, museum reproduction, or an academic/anthropological workshop piece—common in the 1940s–1960s.

The geometric motifs resemble Hopi / Acoma / Mimbres‑inspired designs, but the execution and clay body look more like mid‑century craft pottery rather than tribal‑made ware. See less
