Etched Navajo Wedding Vase 5" -Horse Hair (34bc406)

This high quality piece is an authentic Native American, Navajo pottery wedding vase. This unique Navajo horse hair vase uses real horse hair during the firing process to decorate it. The artist throws the pieces of horse hair onto the pottery at just the right time to cause it to stick and melt into the hot clay.

This causes a permanent application of the horse hair to the pot. The piece is also hand etched to yield the famous look that everyone loves. This piece would be perfect for any southwest style, western decor or cabin. It would also make a great special wedding gift.  

The wedding vase is a very special part of American Indian culture. The parents of a couple to be married will make or purchase a wedding vase for the couple. The vase will be used during the ceremony and then kept for the rest of their lives as a symbol of the love and unity. 

Actual wedding vase is shown, measures approximately 5.75" tall and 5.75" wide.
