The Navajo Wedding Vase is a handmade pottery piece used during wedding ceremonies. The medicine man blesses the water signifying the promise of love and eternal happiness for the couple. It is believed to bond companions in sharing everything they will obtain in life together. The bride and groom use the water from different spouts to wash their hands to bring them together for eternity. The Wedding Vases become a symbol of happiness.
