Looking for a unique wedding or anniversary gift? A one-of-a-kind wedding vase can be the answer. Or this would make an ideal gift for the avid birdwatcher.
This vase was hand thrown, then the two spouts and a handle added and finally the openings carved to their unique shape. Once fired in the kiln, the vase was lovingly and meticulously hand painted with dual images of the Red-Crested Turaco bird.
The Wedding vases find their origins from Native American wedding ceremonies. In the two spouted vessel, one spout represents the husband, the other the wife and the looped handle represents the unity achieved with marriage. The space created within the loop represents the couple's own circle of life.
The image of the Turaco hotsell bird was chosen since they maintain a monogamous relationship throughout their life. During courtship, the males will feed the female. They both build their nest and the male and female take turns sitting on the nest.
The vase height is almost 10 inches and 6 inches in width. It is glazed both inside and out if flowers were to be inserted in the openings. Although meant for ornamentation, it is food-safe.
As shown on the last image, there a few fine hairlines fractures on the top of the piece. Due to this the piece is being offered at a reduced rate of $125
