Large Acoma Hand Painted Pottery Olla, L. Concho
Large Native American Acoma Hand Painted Pottery Olla by Lolita Concho, measures 8.5'' x 11''D and is signed on the bottom, ca. 1975, FYI: ''Lolita Concho was born circa 1910 at Acoma Pueblo. She spent her life at the pueblo making pottery for collectors and museums. She was an outstanding potter and one of the few who could make large jars. She was commissioned to make large jars like the ones in R. C. Gorman's lithographs ''Water Carrier'' and ''Acoma'' in the early 1980's. The results were breathtaking. She was a prize-winning potter who found time to teach the techniques of pottery making to her daughter-in-law, Dorothy Torivio.''
