Alvin Curran stands out as one of the most skilled and refined potters from Ohkay Owingeh in the late 20th century—and notably, one of the few (if not the only) prominent male potters there at the time. Part Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan) and part Quechan. He grew up at the Pueblo, worked as Chief of Police, and took up pottery later, encouraged by his mother-in-law. He was married to Santa Clara potter Dolores Curran (their work shows stylistic cross-influences), and their daughter Ursula Curran continues the tradition.

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.
