      This is contemporary studio pottery. Since they were thrown and trimmed on a potter's wheel, that eliminates any traditional Native American pottery, since American Indians never used a potter's wheel.

      Even if a Native American person did happen to make these studio pots, they still cannot be sold as "Native American" unless you know the potter's name, his/her tribe, and if they are enrolled members of that tribe. So without that information, no, they are not Native American.

      Most contemporary American Indian potters fully recognize the value of signing with their name and tribal affiliation, so if that were the case, there wouldn't be any question...both would be clearly marked on the pots.

      I don't see anything remotely related to Indian pottery here, however. If anything, there may be a Japanese influence. But they could have been made anywhere, by any professional potter.
