Handcrafted by Navajo artist Manuel Brieno, this one-of-a-kind horsehair pottery vase beautifully blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary Southwestern design. Its graceful rounded body and narrow neck are accented by finely hand-carved geometric patterns that frame the shoulder of the vase, while soft earth tones and vibrant coral create a warm, timeless look.

Horsehair Pottery

Navajo horsehair pottery is a distinctive art form that celebrates both tradition and craftsmanship. During the firing process, strands of horse mane and tail hair are carefully placed onto the hot clay, where they burn into the surface to create the natural black markings that make every piece unique. No two pieces can ever be exactly alike. Finished with a smooth polished surface, horsehair pottery is treasured as authentic Native American art and a beautiful expression of Southwestern culture. Because each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, and shape are part of its unique character.
