Santo Domingo Pueblo (now officially Kewa Pueblo) pottery with a "bail" refers to traditional hand-coiled ceramic vessels featuring a bail handle—a looped or arched handle (often made of clay or sometimes with wire elements) for carrying or pouring.
These are typically functional historic or early 20th-century pieces like jars, pitchers, or spouted vessels used for water or storage, rather than purely decorative ones. Santo Domingo/Kewa pottery is known for its buff-colored clay body, cream slip, and bold black (sometimes red) geometric, floral, or leaf motifs painted in a traditional style.
