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.

 

Condition: very good condition

Provenance:  from the extensive collection of a Santa Fe resident who has unfortunately moved to another city and found it necessary to greatly reduce her collection.
