Product Details

Up for listing is a gorgeous, authentic Southwestern wedding vase featuring a brilliant blend of contemporary and traditional styles. This piece boasts the striking, smoky black carbon lines characteristic of the true horsehair firing technique, where real horsehair strands are thrown onto the clay at nearly 1,600 degrees to freeze one-of-a-kind marble-like paths permanently onto the surface. Design Elements: • Body: Clean, matte white clay contrast highlighting the intricate horsehair veins. • Etched Bands: Features precision hand-carved geometric Greek key and traditional triangular step patterns painted in vibrant terra cotta, red, and gold gradients. • Form: A classic wedding vessel shape with a double spout and joined loop handle, symbolizing the unity of two lives coming together. Measurements: • Total Height: Approximately 5.5 inches to the spout peaks. • Bridge Height: Approximately 5 inches to the top of the handle. Condition: In excellent vintage display condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Please see all photos for macro detail of the artist's incised signature ("RS / Navajo") on the underside.
