Tularosa Fillet Rim bowls. Common in SE AZ and SW NM from about 1100 to 1300 AD. This is our May project in the Ancient Potters Club and it is a toughie. Tonight I am hoping to make one of these that I can keep and be proud of.

A beautiful day for the last traditional firing of the season. Fire restrictions will be coming very soon so this was me firing those pots that I didn’t want to wait until July to fire. Everything came out great, there will be a video in a couple weeks.

A selection of Salado Polychrome vessels at the Geronimo Springs Museum. TorC, New Mexico is pretty Far East for Salado but this stuff was traded all over. Most likely this pottery was made along the upper Gila River over 100 miles west of here.
