Indian Pottery Massive Horse Pot

I went to the Catawba Indian Reservation yesterday to pick up a few pieces of Catawba Pottery. What a surprise I got. Mr. Earl Robbins the famous Catawba Elder Master potter said he had something to show me. We went in the house and he showed me 2 massive pieces of Catawba Indian Pottery. First was a huge 27 inch Indian canoe with heads on both ends. He then pulled out this tremendous Catawba Pottery Horse Pot. It was just unbelievable. As you can see in the photo it is not quite completed. Earl said he had to rub it some more but should be ready for the burn soon.

My Double Snake Catawba Pipe

Here is a Indian pottery snake pipe I just finished. This one has 2 snakes around it. It measures 5 1/2 inches long. I spent quite a bit of time making this one because I wanted to make sure it was right. This Catawba snake pipe was purchased by Jim in Pennsylvania. He now wants me to make a hooded cobra pipe. I'm going to try one. This will be something new for me.
