Design Inspiration

1,000 years ago Mimbreño Indians painted their pottery with sophisticated geometric designs and whimsical interpretations of the wildlife and nature surrounding them. The March Hare in the Moon, the Bird with 4 fish stuck in its Neck and animals with decorated bodies are testimony to unique Mimbreño humor and creativity. Some of these images are duplicates from actual, ancient Mimbreño bowls. In 1936, Mary Jane Colter (architect/designer for Santa Fe Railway Co., Fred Harvey Co. and The Grand Canyon and authority on Southwestern Indians) was so moved by Mimbreño artwork she created 37 Mimbreño style drawings to fit on dinnerware pieces for the new SUPER CHIEF TWO elite dining car. Today, the Santa Fe Railway Mimbreño dinnerware pieces are valuable collector’s items. Quality reproductions, made in the USA by HF COORS & licensed by BNSF Railway, are also highly sought after and wonderful additions to any collection.
