Acoma Wedding Vase by H Poncho

Acoma Wedding Vase by H Poncho
The pictured wedding vase was produced by pouring slip casting into a mold.  The decoration technique is the same, but it is of much less value than a similar piece created in traditional fashion. Differentiating may be difficult, but looking at price is a good start.   If the wedding vase was made by hand coiling from locally harvested clay and fired outdoors, it would sell for 4 to 10 fold more. This one has a retail value of only $39.
