Acoma Pueblo potter Pablita Concho has been listed as an active potter in a survey of 1974 but no mention of her in a survey in the 1940s.  She was obviously a competent potter at the time she made this canteen.  It is large, well-constructed and beautifully designed with influence from Tularosa pottery of pre-historic time.

 

Pablita Concho (c.1900-1990) hallmark - signaturePablita did not sign her name to her pottery but used a feather hallmark and added the pueblo name.

 

Condition: very good condition with evidence of minor repair in the red area below the design.
