Santa Clara Pueblo blackware bird dishes (also called bird effigy bowls or dishes) are a charming and collectible form of traditional Pueblo pottery from Santa Clara Pueblo (Kha'po Owingeh) in New Mexico. These pieces are part of the renowned black-on-black (or polished blackware) tradition, where potters use local clay, hand-coil and shape the forms, apply a slip, burnish for a high sheen, and fire in a reduction atmosphere to achieve the deep, glossy black finish.
