Acoma Pueblo Jar Converted to a Table Lamp - C3753.59
Category: Pottery | Posted by | Tue, Jul 5th 2016, 3:12pm
Traditional Pueblo pottery jars have been converted into table lamps since the 1930s. They were very popular in Santa Fe homes, some homes having several lamps from various pueblos. This lamp was made from a traditional Acoma olla that probably dates to the 1940s. The base of the olla is covered by the attached wooden base so there is no way to conveniently determine if the olla is signed or not.
