Southwest Prehistoric Pottery Replicas Every Piece is a replica of an actual prehistoric vessel from a museum or other collection. We make them the same way the experts did.
n every aspect of the pottery making process we duplicate the materials and methods of the original artisans. Our clays are obtained from the clay beds native to the cultures represented, and we use authentic tools and methods to create the pieces. Our paints are derived from plants and minerals occurring naturally in the Southwest, and firing is done in open wood fires. These designs come from ancient peoples who once made their home in the Southwest... the Anasazi, Hohokam, Mogollon, Mimbres, Fremont, and others. Each is a limited edition Legend in Clay. "Our aim is not only for the piece to look like the original, but to feel like it and be like it in every way possible." Pottery styles, shapes and sizes are inspired by 15 years of study of authentic pieces found in museums, private collections and books. All of these factors, plus the talent and commitment of the artists, add up to a final product which one noted Southwest Archaeologist called, "not only a work of art, but close to a forgery." We welcome you to our website and invite you to visit our online gallery and Discover Legends in Clay.
