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.

An account of the resource
In late 2021, some of the outdoor pottery globes had been smashed by a vandal while the library was shut down during COVID. The pieces were collected and stored in the Special Collections Department.
In 2022, Preservation Specialist Alayna Jordan, with Ford Powell & Carson Architects, gave a pottery cleaning demonstration at the Emily Fowler Library to show city staff how to clean the Beaumont Mood pottery in the Municipal Complex.
This is a photo after some of the larger pieces had been cleaned.
