Jemez Pueblo Single Story Pottery House [SOLD]

Pottery house structures such as this seem to have been popular in the early- to mid-20^th century.  They were made by potters at several of the pueblos and were intended as inexpensive items to sell to tourists enchanted with New Mexico and its low adobe houses.  They have become quite collectible now.  It is difficult to place a date on most of them but probably mid-20^th century or earlier is a good guess.

Condition: overall in excellent condition except that a small corner of the ground plane in the rear of the house broke off and has been glued back on and it truly is not noticeable.

Provenance:  from a Santa Fe collector of pueblo pottery
