This is one of the smallest wedding vases we have had by Helen “Featherwoman” Naha. It is her classic shape with a wide, round shoulder and elongated spouts. The design has two birds on each side. The tails of the birds go up the spout. The designs are painted with bee-weed (black) and a red clay slip. The white is a kaolin clay which is first applied to the jar and then stone polished. The piece was traditionally fired which created the blushes on the surface. The wedding vase is signed on the bottom with a feather, which was Helen’s hallmark. The vase is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
