Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
Impressive handmade ceramic jug or vase with a handle, measuring 54 cm high and 14.5 cm in diameter at the foot, weight 7.4 kg, finished in a multi‑coloured lava glaze with red, green and black tones and a rough, textured surface, dating from the 1960s–1970s and in good used condition.
Description from the seller
Impressive and heavy handmade ceramic jug or vase with a handle, executed in an expressive and rough style. The surface features a strong, texture-rich lava-like glaze in red, green, and black tones, creating a powerful and almost volcanic effect.
The form is classic (jug shape with a narrow neck and handle), but the finish is distinctly modern and artistic. The thick, irregular surface and natural color nuances give the piece a unique, artisanal character.
The bottom shows a rough, unglazed foot with no visible mark, which is typical for studio pottery / atelier work.
Due to its size and weight, this is a striking decorative object, suitable as a statement piece in a modern or industrial interior.
Condition:
In good condition.
No visible cracks or restorations
Rough and porous texture inherent to the design
Small irregularities and pits are part of the firing process and glaze
Light wear on the bottom.
Dimensions & Weight:
Height: 54 cm
Opening diameter: ~7 cm
Foot diameter: ~14.5 cm
Weight: 7.4 kg.
The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by registered, insured transport with a tracking number.
Pickup by arrangement is also possible.
