Fannie Nampeyo (1900-1987) was Nampeyo’s youngest daughter. As Nampeyo aged and her eyesight failed, Fannie, along with her sister Annie, helped Nampeyo by painting Nampeyo’s pots. At the same time, she was a recognized potter in her own right and went on to a very successful potting career. The design used in this pot is known as the migration pattern. While Nampeyo created it, Fannie is the one who is most directly recognized for it and it became a notable signature of Nampeyo family potters.
