Cody, Wyoming Collection Hopi Polacca Serving Bowl [SOLD]

Polacca pottery style began around 1740. It did not fully become the predominant type at Hopi until about 1800, and it continued until about 1890. Polacca wares were the predominant utilitarian wares of this time period. This bowl is typical of Polacca Black-on-cream, Style C, which existed from about 1850 to 1890.

The interior slip shows significant wear. This bowl had many decades of use at the pueblo. One minor rim chip is the only vessel damage. This is truly a rare piece.
