Hopi Pueblo pottery bowls are iconic examples of Native American craftsmanship from the Hopi people of northeastern Arizona. The Hopi (often referred to as Hopituh Shi-nu-mu) have a long pottery tradition dating back centuries, with roots in ancient Ancestral Puebloan practices. Early pottery was mostly utilitarian or ceremonial, hand-coiled without wheels, molds, or modern kilns, and pit-fired.
A major revival happened in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, inspired by the ancient Sikyatki pueblo ruins (abandoned around the 16th century). This led to the distinctive Sikyatki Revival style, popularized by legendary potter Nampeyo (c. 1859–1942), a Hopi-Tewa artist whose work revived intricate prehistoric designs. Many contemporary Hopi potters descend from or draw inspiration from her family and techniques.
