My grandparents had this pot and displayed it. They spent time each year in the Great Smoky Mountains and I have several carvings by a Cherokee artist, but this may have come from out west along with two wool blankets.
This isn't Native American pottery. No Native American potters ever made anything remotely similar.
Based only on the one photo shown, it appears to be a piece of Ozark Roadside Tourist pottery, popular during the 1930s/1950s, and now "collectible."
We really need an additional photo of the inside, and bottom. The only thing positive, is that it isn't Native American Indian.
Wow, thanks for getting back. Oh, well on the Ozark connection. Clearly it's a thrown pot. Checking to see how to add more photos.
I don't care who made it, it's absolutely gorgeous. Keep it and take good care of it. It will be valuable sooner or later. Probably sooner.
Just gorgeous.
