Nuptial Vase
Nuptial Vase
Long a traditional wedding present, the nuptial vase (Brocca della sposa, or Mariga de sa sposa) was originally a small drinking pitcher intended to be kept on the nightstand.
With the introduction of running water in the 1960’s, the vases became purely ornamental, growing in size and decoration. Crafted by Walter Usai, this vase is decorated with the classic Sardinian symbols of roses, leaves, and miniature pavoncelle, one of the island’s most iconic symbols.
Designed by Walter Usai for Sardinian-based design publisher, Pretziada.
18.1" H x 11.8" Dia

Research, storytelling, and collaboration remain central to their work.
