QUESTION: Hi Leisha, the vase was a wedding gift in 1986 purchased in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY in a gift shop.  Attached is another photo, this one of the vase itself.  It is ceramic with some texture.  Hope this helps.

Answer
Nadia,
It definitely looks handmade, perhaps slabwork. Is the gift shop still open? You could contact them & they should have some information for you. If not, try searching if there is a potters or art group in that area. Potters especially, know other potters. It's a start. Let me know how it turns out. Leisha
