Hilda Whitegoat Navajo Horsehair Wedding Vase – Hand Coiled & Signed
Signed “Whitegoat / Navajo,” this hand-coiled and sgraffito-etched wedding vase is the work of Navajo artist Hilda Whitegoat, known for her finely crafted contemporary horsehair pottery. The vase features a polished reddish-brown body intricately incised with geometric motifs and enhanced by distinctive black veining from the horsehair firing technique—a hallmark of Whitegoat’s artistry.
The double-spout “wedding vase” form symbolizes unity and harmony within Navajo tradition. Whitegoat’s pottery is celebrated for its graceful forms and masterful balance between modern design and cultural heritage, making this piece both an elegant display object and a meaningful example of authentic Native American craftsmanship.
