History

This piece is a crewel embroidery artwork from the mid-20th century, likely created during the 1970s when Native American-inspired decor became popular in American homes. The artwork depicts a stylized Southwestern pottery vase filled with wheat stalks and flowers, executed on a brown fabric background and framed in a simple gold frame. Such needlework pieces were popular during the 1970s craft revival when many homemakers created handmade textile art for home decoration. These embroidered works featuring Southwestern and Native American motifs are collected by enthusiasts of vintage textile arts, mid-century decor, and Southwestern or Native American-inspired home accessories. They are valued for their handcrafted quality and as representative examples of the 1970s craft movement.
