Old Acoma Pueblo pottery tray with dog

An early Acoma Pueblo piece of tourist pottery, ca 1920s.  An ashtray on 3 feet with a sweet creature standing on the edge.  As it appears to have a collar, perhaps a dog?  Charming, whatever it is.  The center of the bowl has a 4 part whirling log design.  Broad rests might have held a cigar rather than cigarettes.  For a Pueblo pottery, this bowl is an appealing blend of tradition and new forms & elements intended to appeal to broad audience.  3 1/2″ tall at the critter’s ear x 5 1/2″ to 5 3/4″ including the rests.  Signed on the underside, “Acoma, NM.”  In very good old condition with light wear and light staining in the bowl.
