Rio means river in Spanish so I think this could be from Spain??

I thought it might say "Aguiro", which could be Martina (mother) or Diego (son) Aguiro, Pueblo Potters from New Mexico. Nice theory, and the signatures look quite alike (http://www.adobegallery.com/art/ohkay-owingeh-polychrome-pictorial-jar) but pictures of the Aguinos' redware pots with geometrical decoration don't look anything like your bowl, and I can't find any connection between them and anywhere called Rio.

It might be worthwhile to email a Pueblo Pottery gallery or collector to confirm or otherwise. There are a few listed on Google.
