Description: Being offered is a Michael Hawley, Hopi Indian Sikyatki revival style art pottery handled bowl, vase, or pitcher. The piece is signed on the bottom with a copyright symbol and Chakoptewa. The handled bowl shows age related wearing like surface scuffs and abrasions but otherwise has no chips or cracks. There are stress firing lines where the handles were applied that look like cracks from the manufacturing process. The piece has the classic Sikyatki revival style designs encircling the pottery. The handled bowl is approx. 3 3/8" tall by 5 1/2" wide at its widest portion. I found some information on this artisan on Adobe Gallery website which stated, "Michael Hawley (1948 – 2012), Chakoptewa, formerly of Scottsdale, Arizona, was the only contemporary potter creating true Sikyatki Polychrome pottery vessels in the same manner as they were originally made from the 14th through the 17th centuries. Hawley called this pottery "Chakoptewa Polychrome," Chakoptewa being his adopted Hopi name. Hawley used only hand-ground clay dug on Antelope Mesa on the Hopi Reservation and he hand coiled, shaped, polished, painted and coal fired each of the pots in a firing pit he constructed himself. All of his pigments were made by hand from minerals and plants indigenous to the Hopi Mesas and each of his painted designs is original and within the Sikyatki designs tradition. Mike Hawley's pieces are original and unique pieces of contemporary ceramic art inspired by ancient tradition. They are not copies or replicas." You can find information about this artisan by searching his name along with "hopi pottery", which includes some of his pottery for sale with many works listed for $1,000 or more.
