This is an exquisite pair of twisted stem polished black candlesticks. The potter, Reycita Garcia, is a daughter of Geronima Trujillo of San Ildefonso Pueblo, who was born in 1910. I do not know if Reycita is an active potter today or not. These candlesticks are dated 1991, almost 20 years old now. They are in original excellent condition and have been used as candlesticks.
