    I have an Native American vase with two spouts and it is called a wedding vase. I found this jug or vessel at a thrift shop and i'm trying to figure out if it is french or mexican or italian, and also what it is used for. It is bright and colorful.

      Pretty colors and design. Looks like it could be used for a teapot, or just made as an ornamental teapot

      That is actually a botijo which is a clay water jug that keeps the water cold. They are commonly from Spain or Mexico but similar type vessels can be found in India, Poland, etc. A wedding vase has equal sized openings, which what you have does not. You'll notice what you have has on one side a spout to drink from and the other is larger to fill the water into the jug.
