Description	This 1979 photograph, most likely made by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, shows a blackware water pipe that was made by Elizabeth Bigmeat Jackson (1919-2008). This coiled and modeled earthenware pipe was featured in the brochure, “Designs in pottery by the Bigmeat Family,” that accompanied an exhibition of their work in 1979 (Identifier QACM_BigmeatPottery_01_01). Elizabeth Bigmeat was raised on Wrights Creek in the Painttown community of Cherokee, North Carolina. A member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, she was a third-generation potter. While she was a young child, she and her two sisters began making pottery with their mother, Charlotte Welch Bigmeat (1887-1959). After Elizabeth Bigmeat married, she moved to Flint, Michigan, where she continued to make pottery, but brought it back to fire and sell at local craft shops. In 1979, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual organized an exhibiton of pottery by the Bigmeat sisters.
