Story
Rooted in Indigenous Southwestern traditions, the double-spouted wedding vase found new life in mid-century American and European decor as bold, sculptural tabletop art.
Maker / Origin
During the post-war boom, major ceramic centers in California, the American Midwest, and West Germany mass-produced sculptural vessels, cataloging them by impressed shape numbers rather than full company signatures.
Condition & Value
Displays intact glaze with strong color saturation; expected shelf wear along the dry foot rim and protective felt pads added by a prior owner. Excellent preservation preserves secondary market appeal.

Market Analysis
Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
Value Drivers
- ▲ Strong maker attribution with credible period details
- ▲ Better-than-average condition for the category
- ▲ Broader demand rises when presentation and finish feel intact
Concerns
- ▼ Decorative-only demand limits the ceiling
- ▼ Surface wear or missing provenance can compress the range fast
- ▼ Regional sale lanes often underperform specialist venues
