North America, Native American, Arizona, Pee-Posh / Piipaash people (Maricopa), ca. mid-20th to 21st century CE. A collection of 3 hand-made pottery pots made by the Maricopa artist Vesta Bread (1912 to 1976) and Beryl Jane Stevens (1934 to present), a student and friend of Vesta Bread. The pots rest on slightly indented bases that are each signed by the artists, and the walls swell outward creating spherical profiles, slipped in a brick red and overpainted with black curvilinear motifs. The petite vessel is by Stevens, and the larger two are by Bread. Both artists are exhibited in the Pueblo Grande Museum's Contemporary collection. Size: 6" Diameter x 5" H (15.2 cm x 12.7 cm)
