Nambe (Nambé or Nanbé Ówingeh) Pueblo pottery, especially black or micaceous blackware, draws from a long Tewa tradition in northern New Mexico. Nambe potters historically produced polished black micaceous wares (using clay with sparkling mica flecks), alongside some black-on-black or redware styles, though pottery-making declined significantly in the 19th century before a revival in the late 20th century led by artists like Lonnie Vigil.
