Cling, Alice – Wedding Vase with Braided Handle

4.25"w x 7.5"h

$ 325.00

It is not often that we have had a wedding vase by Alice Cling.  The piece has a round shoulder and symmetric spouts. The handle is braided. The entire piece is polished red and then fired outdoors.  The jar has a deep color from the smoke and fire.   The colors on this piece vary from black to deep red.  The wedding vase was covered in pine-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.  Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”
