The first Wedding Wish Vase© was a love creation for my own wedding to Molly in 1997. We conceived the pottery vase to receive well wishing notes prompted by a poem that we wrote for the occasion. It was such fun opening our vase order and reading all the wishes for us from family and friends. The notes and vase have become cherished keepsakes from our wedding day. Vases were commissioned to give as wedding gifts and thus it spread across the country, one wedding at a time, becoming many couples' favorite wedding gift. Now, many brides suggest them on their registry but I limit one per wedding!
Handmade in North Carolina.
Wheel-formed porcelain, handpainted underglaze decoration of multi floral garden flower clusters featuring blue flag irises and pink and purple lupines, overglaze calligraphy transfer fired into the clear glaze. 10" x 5", comes gift boxed with poem card, note pads and instructions. The vase holds approximately 150 notes.
The bottom of the vase has been trimmed very thinly and perforated so the it is easily removed with a tap from a wooden spoon (opening directions included) to remove the notes at a later date. The vase remains intact to be a cherished keepsake and can even be converted into a table lamp. Several other decoration choices available. Custom decorations considered, email me!
Normal turn around time is 2 to 4 weeks, Order shipment of 10 days or less is available for an additional $15 rush fee.
The two-sided poem card reads:
"Wedding Wishes"©
A wish, a poem, a blessing, a thought;
Place your messages in this pot.
A year from now the notes we'll read,
Celebrating this new life we lead.
With kind words you had to say,
We'll remember well our wedding day.
