Isleta Pueblo B Lente signed pottery bird quail figurine hand painted vintage

Bring home a charming piece of Southwestern pottery with this hand-painted Isleta Pueblo bird figurine. Created from a traditional slip-cast form and finished with black and russet painted details, this vintage quail-style bird has the warm, handmade character typical of mid-century Pueblo souvenir pottery.
The underside is signed “B Lente – Isleta NM," referencing the Lente family of potters at Isleta Pueblo. Pottery signed H/B Lente and other Lente-family pieces are documented in collectible listings, and this signature appears consistent with that family tradition.
The figurine features a matte white slip, hand-painted feather and face details, a hollow interior, and a vent opening on the base.
