Pauline Romero Jemez Wedding Vase
This captivating double-spouted wedding vase is a testament to the artistry of Jemez Pueblo. Crafted by renowned potter Pauline Romero, the vase exhibits a highly burnished red ground that exudes a warm, earthen glow. Its ribbed body, reminiscent of the melon swirl designs that are a hallmark of Jemez pottery, adds a textural depth that is both visually and tactilely pleasing. The vase's elegant form is balanced by its functional design, symbolizing the unity of marriage in Pueblo culture.
