AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Handmade earthenware vase with two handles, rendered in a characterful, rustic style.
The vase features a striking geometric pattern in earthy tones (green, ochre, blue and purple) and a beautiful weathered patina that adds extra charm to the piece.
This type of ceramic is typical for Southern Europe, presumably Portugal, which is also confirmed by the original label.
It is an artisanal object with a porous, unglazed finish.
Features:
- Origin: Portugal (Southern Europe)
- Material: Hand-formed earthenware (terracotta, unglazed)
- Technique: Handmade and painted
- Period: Mid to late 20th century (ca. 1960 - 1980)
- Style: Rustic / ethnic / Mediterranean influences
- Decoration: Geometric motif in natural pigments
- Handles: Two integrated handles
- Condition: Good vintage condition with normal signs of wear and age, consistent with handmade earthenware. No damages.
Note:
The vase is not waterproof (as stated on the original label) and is therefore only suitable for dried flowers or decorative use.
