Title

Pottery urns #1 & 2

Description

Two tall cylindrical vessels with geometric patterns in reddish, blue, and brown, made by Beaumont Mood. They reside in a cabinet at the Emily Fowler Central Library. The containers were commissioned by O'Neil Ford as part of the 1968 renovation of the library. Beaumont Mood was the owner of the Beaumont Mood Lighting Company in San Antonio, Texas.

From 1969 until the early 1980s, customers were allowed to smoke in the library and this was originally used as an ashtray in the building.

Their condition: dark marks, smudges, and some small chipping on the top band. Property stickers are on the lowest band of each.
