"Sunbeam David" Hopi Pottery Bowl

Updated August 25, 2026

Handcrafted Hopi Native American pottery bowl attributed to artist Sunbeam David, featuring a warm reddish-orange terracotta clay body with bold black geometric, abstract, and traditional Southwestern-inspired designs wrapping around the exterior. This collectible Hopi Pueblo pottery piece has a low, rounded bowl form and measures approximately 5" wide x 3.5" tall. The underside retains a partially worn artist marking/signature, while accompanying collector documentation identifies the potter as Sunbeam David. With its hand-painted geometric decoration, earthy natural clay coloration, and traditional Pueblo form, this piece would make an appealing addition to a collection of Hopi pottery, Native American art, Southwestern pottery, Pueblo ceramics, Indigenous art, Arizona pottery, hand-coiled pottery, or vintage Southwest décor. The bowl shows a notable chip/loss along the rim, as photographed, along with surface scratches, scuffs, and general wear consistent with age, handling, and prior display. The painted decoration remains bold and visually striking despite the condition issues. See photos for the artist marking, rim damage, painted design, overall condition, and additional details.
