Large pottery vessels are not often seen coming from potters at Cochiti Pueblo. It has not been a tradition at Cochiti for the last hundred or more years. It is quite likely that Cochiti families purchased from or traded with potters at Santo Domingo when in need of large vessels. Cochiti was quite well known in the late 1800s for making wonderful figurine pottery in the form of humans and animals, then in the 1970s, and forward, the potters became famous for making pottery storyteller figurines.
