Small clay lamps are most often called diyas. These earthenware vessels originated from India, a country that is home to 22 official languages. As a result, there are a number of terms for diyas, including diyo, deeya, deepa, deepam, saaki and deepak. Shop a diverse assortment of earthenware pottery on 1stDibs.
