Potter Once Known
- Category: Historic
- Origin: Acoma Pueblo, Haak’u

5-5/8” diameter x 2-3/4” tall overall - Item # 25585 SOLD
This Acoma Pueblo candleholder is combined with an ashtray to achieve dual use, an idea which must have appealed to tourists who collected either item. The base clay has been slipped in orange and painted in polychrome colors that feature the traditional Acoma dual bird design. On the underside is painted Acoma N.M. but no name of a potter. It was typical in the mid-20th century to only identify the pueblo and not the potter.
