The main body features a textured stone-like surface in gray-green tones, on which a handcrafted figural relief medallion is applied. This depicts stylized figures in ancient attire (with classical-Egyptian influences), outlined in black, white and beige.
The base and the neck of the carafe are rendered in warm terracotta tones and decorated with linear geometric patterns as well as white squares. On the underside is clearly visible the handwritten signature of the workshop: “produced by M. Marchi, Bassano / hand painted / Italy”.
