Yazzie, Angie – 13″ Tall Micaceous Wedding Vase (1998)

Angie Yazzie is renowned for her thin-walled Taos pottery. Each piece is coil-built and made from micaceous clay from near Taos Pueblo.  Angie focuses on traditional shapes along with making each piece nearly paper thin!  It almost feels like there is nothing there when you hold one! This is one of the few wedding vases we have had from Angie.  It has a round body, elongated spouts, and a twisted handle.  The piece is made from micaceous clay so when it is fired it has a sparkling/metallic appearance.  Angie fires her pieces using wood.  It is signed on the bottom, “Angie Yazzie”.  The wedding vase is from 1998 and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  She has won numerous awards for her work, including “Best of Pottery” at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2017.
