A wedding vase is traditionally used by Native American couples in the Southwest but it is being used increasingly by couples everywhere drawn to the culture’s spirituality and reverence for nature, the earth, and the environment. During the ceremony each person drinks from a spout to symbolize both individuality and unity. The vase is one-of-a-kind handcrafted in New Mexico with traditional methods including hand etching and painting. It measures 8″ tall and is signed by the artist Dina Willie of the Navajo Pueblo. It is important to know that this vase is made to hold liquid for a very short period of time. The vase should be emptied and dried promptly after the ceremony and should never be used as a vessel for liquid which will destroy the vase. More about the Indian Wedding Vase Ceremony.
