This wedding vase is the exception because it is clearly stated on the bottom of the vase that it is of Laguna origin.  The potter wanted to be sure that the buyer was aware that it was a Laguna item.  We are all aware that many published reports state that it is very difficult to distinguish pottery from Laguna and Acoma Pueblos and that is quite true.  This historic wedding vase is the exception because it is clearly stated on the bottom of the vase that it is of Laguna origin.  The potter wanted to be sure that the buyer was aware that it was a Laguna item.  The rectangular orange boxes and the twisted handle would have been clues to a Laguna origin as well.

 

Condition: very good condition
