Jemez Pueblo pottery is renowned for its distinctive style, characterized by geometric designs and often a red or black slip on a white or cream background. The Jemez people, historically known as the "Walnut People," have a long tradition of pottery making, with their craft evolving over centuries. Contemporary Jemez potters often draw inspiration from ancestral designs while incorporating modern artistic sensibilities. The piece in question, with its bold, abstract geometric patterns in bright colors, suggests a mid-20th century creation, possibly around the 1950s, a period when many Pueblo potters experimented with new designs and glazes. Such small, decorative cups and saucers were often made as collector's items or for display, showcasing the artist's skill and unique aesthetic vision. Estimated Value - $150-$250
