Vintage 2004 Ben Diller Raku Pottery Pueblo Wedding Vase

Raku pottery is a Japanese firing technique that involves removing pottery from the kiln at a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it, often in combustible materials, which creates unique crackling and metallic effects. This technique was adopted and adapted by various cultures, including Native American artists in the Southwestern United States. Pueblo wedding vases are traditional ceremonial objects useo in Native American wedding ceremonies, symbolizing the union of two people. The double spouts represent the couple, and the bridge connecting them signifies their bond. These vases are often hand-crafted and decorated with symbolic designs, with Raku firing adding a distinctive artistic element. This beautiful vase shimmers in the light and shows a rainbow of colours. In excellent vintage condition.
