Pool Lamps, #1
Description
An account of the resource
Twenty-four pendant lamps hang around the perimeter of the Denton Municipal Swimming Pool.
Each of these pottery lamps was fabricated by Beaumont Mood in the basement studio of the home he shared with his wife, Martha Mood, in San Antonio, Texas. The designs were Martha's, but Beaumont "streamlined" them. The holes were hand-pierced with a wooden dowel; Beaumont was able to make four of them a day.
The lamps were commissioned by O'Neil Ford, in 1965. The budget allowed for the making of the lamps was $2,000.

Title
A name given to the resource
Glazed hanging pendant lamp
Description
An account of the resource
Terracotta pendant lamp with a reddish glaze and bands with various patterns such as fluted lines, seamless ovals, and an atomic starburst. The holes were hand-pierced using a dowel. Measures 24 3/4" x 10 1/2".
It was fashioned by the Beaumont Mood Lighting Co. in San Antonio, Texas, for the Municipal Complex around 1968.
This lamp was one of three that hung in front of the windows at the east end of the Emily Fowler Library. We presume that the other two were broken and replaced by four others that were made by the same company.
