High Bid:	$50.00
A max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an auction item. In response to other bids, the auction system will automatically increase your bid in the smallest increment possible (up to your max bid amount) in order to maintain your lead position. To get a max bid you simply enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid form just as you would any other bid. If your bid is more than one bidding increment above the current high bid you will get a max bid unless another bidder has a max bid in place that is higher than the amount you enter. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder pays only the lowest winning bid possible. That means that you can win an auction item at a price less than your max bid amount. Your max bid amount is kept confidential from other bidders. You can lower or delete a max bid by entering a lower amount. Note: After watching hundreds of auctions and talking to thousands of bidders, we think using max bids in your bidding strategy works best for most people. It eliminates some of the pressure and reduces the risk of "sniping", where other bidders slip in slightly higher bids in the last seconds of bidding. ' > Your Max Bid:	NA

Bid History (10 bids)

PINE RIDGE POTTERY

The Pine Ridge Indian reservation, established in 1890, is located in southwestern South Dakota. In the 1930s the Work Progress Association (WPA) setup a boarding school on the reservations, the goal being to remove children from their homes and place them in school where they spoke only English.

There is no tradition of pottery amongst the Lakota Sioux Indians of the Great Plains – the Sioux were a nomadic group that followed the bison herds and as such were light travelers. The Sioux are reported to more frequently have used baskets than pottery, baskets being far lighter to transport. The pottery that they did travel with was not decorative, but rather very functional. Thus Pine Ridge Pottery might be considered a white man’s medium decorated by Native Americans.

The WPA project brought white instructors to the boarding school, to provide pottery for home use and to help the Indians sustain themselves as craftspeople. Bruce Doyle was hired in 1937 to run the ceramics program in the high school.

Perhaps coincidental to Doyle’s arrival, in 1937 Margaret Cable, director of ceramics at the University of North Dakota, was hired for six months by the U.S. Field Services as a Traveling Education Specialist in Ceramics. Much of her time seems to have been spent at the Pine Ridge Reservation teaching a course designed for ceramics instructors – the course was usable for credit at UND and USD. In addition to teachers, community members were also welcome to attend this class.

The years 1937-1940 are considered to have been the most productive at the Pine Ridge high school pottery.

Among those trained by Doyle were three sisters of Sioux origin who are credited with continuing the Pine Ridge pottery after the high school program ended. Ella Irving (known as Ella Woody during the late ’30s and Ella Cox during the 1940s) secured a loan to purchase a log building in downtown Pine Ridge to continue pottery production. Clay was dug near this area and glazes were produced locally, as at the school. Ella and company continued using the incised mark “Pine Ridge Sioux” sometimes including the word “Indian”, under a pine tree on a ridge. Ella and her sister Olive (also known as “Ollie”) Cottier threw pots on the wheel, while the third sister, Bernice Talbot did the work of casting, glazing and decorating the pottery.

There appears to be some debate about the precise timing of events surrounding pottery production at the Pine Ridge high school. Peter’s notes tell that the Irving sisters took over at the high school, but quit in 1943 when Bill Artis was hired as the new director of Pine Ridge pottery. In addition, Peter’s information notes that it was 1955 when Ella Irving secured a loan and bought the pottery from the Pine Ridge boarding school. The demise of Ella’s efforts appears to have come in the 1980’s when her shop was vandalized and equipment was stolen. Production ceased at this time, despite continuing demand for the pottery.

In Sept. of 1999, at the age of 93, Ella Irving was awarded the 10th annual South Dakota Living Indian Treasure Award in recognition of her contributions to Native American art forms. Her pottery can be found around the world, including in the Smithsonian Institute.

Clay for Pine Ridge pottery included red clay from the Pine Ridge reservation and a white clay from the Black Hills. Some additional marks on the pottery included Ella Irving’s pieces marked “Woody” (her married name).
