Offered here for your consideration is a group of three prehistoric pots. All the pots are undecorated, two are red slip and one was finished with a black slip. Unadorned but used, these pots exemplify the everyday houseware used for cooking, washing, drinking and other mundane daily tasks. Not as spectacular as the highly decorated pottery but more important in their function. A great price for three examples of prehistoric implements with rock solid provenance. Bid today to add them to your collection!
PROVENANCE: Rust collection. The history of this collection comes from the private property of Dennis Sipe's White Mountain Hereford Ranch near Springerville, AZ. This well documented prehistoric site was excavated by William Hinckley. Mr. Sipe then wound up with the pottery and artifacts collection, which he kept and displayed until death. After Mr. Sipe passed away, the Rust family acquired the collection. Included is a copy of a history of the ruin (believed to have been written by Mr. Hinckley in 1987) in which it is clearly stated that no burial sites were found or disturbed.

APPROX AGE: (Prehistoric).
