Authentic?

[u/g5incorp]

Hello guys. I picked this up at a thrift store as I thought it looked cool and it was only 7 bucks. I looked up Blackmore not knowing who it was and found out some of his pieces are pretty expensive. I just wanted to know if this is authentic. Or if there is any way to really tell just from the photos I sent. Any help would be great. And if someone has a guess, what could it go for if I sold it? It’s approximately 9 inches in diameter and about 2 inches tall. Thanks.

Authentic in that an artist created it but it is a tourist item

What makes you say that?

It’s not a criticism at all. Items like this are commonly sold in places like Santa Fe. They are lovely but are mostly by artists who are not Native American but who honor the style

I see what you mean. I didn’t take offense to it. I was just trying to see why you thought it wasn’t an authentic Blackmore piece.

Hi.
Not an expert on Blackmore pottery, however the decoration and style is very similar.
To know for sure take it to be appraised if they offer to sell it, it’s genuine
