Lot of 4: 1 is a reproduction pre-Columbian bowl, with the name "Guaitil" from Costa Rica inscribed on the base. This substantial bowl has the period-correct etching around the sides, and an unglazed mottled interior, and measures almost 4" in dia. and 3.5" high. It is made in the small village of Guaitil on the Nicoya peninsula, in the Guaitil Pottery studio. The pottery making methods are the same used by the Chorotega Indians for over 800 years. All the materials used are organic, indigenous to the area. Pottery is made using the coil-building method, with a manual wheel. It is finally fired in a wood-burning kiln using native woods to roughly 700 degrees. 2,3 and 4 are Cherokee Indian pieces, hand-made and decorated. There is a cup and fluted bowl, with a smaller hand-painted bowl, roughly glazed and slightly crude. The larger bowl measures 6" across and 2" deep, the cup is 3.5" across and 3" high. The cup has a pouring spout, and small chips on the lip and spout. The small bowl has a painted interior, and measures 4" across.
