Brian (Byran) DeLorme of "Sky City" Acoma Pueblo created this great monochrome seed pot and we think it is wonderful. Although he is mentioned in both Dr. Gregory Schaaf's book "Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2,000 Artist Biographies" and in "Contemporary Pueblo and Navajo Pottery" by Berger and Schiffer, there is very little published about this potter and we haven't had much luck getting a bio from him.

We do know that he produces great seed pots with snowflake designs, fine line star bursts, flowers, checkers and etched bear claws. There are so many interesting aspects to his pots that it is hard to know which is the best perspective to present.

This is a rounded square shape seed pot measuring 4.5 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. If you do a search for his name you'll find this size seed pot selling for just shy of four times the price we are offering to you so you can be assured that this is a great price. Your price $195 ~ Item #A173 Click here to see an enlargement.
