Hand-Painted Minoan Amphora Replica

What it is:
A stunning and highly detailed hand-painted replica of a Minoan pointed amphora, a type of vase from the ancient Minoan civilization (c. 1600-1450 BCE). This piece is a true work of art, capturing the spirit and elegance of the historical original. The included custom metal stand is necessary for display.

Please note: This vase is intended for decoration only. It is not designed to hold water or flowers.

The Point:
The pointed bottom is the signature feature of this type of ancient vessel. Its purpose was highly practical: it allowed the vases to be securely placed upright in soft ground, such as sand or earth. It also enabled them to be stacked and held in place in the cargo holds of ships during transport, preventing them from shifting and breaking.

Maker:
This piece was expertly crafted and hand-painted by the artist Maraslis in Athens, Greece. Maraslis is a known artisan specializing in high-quality reproductions of ancient Greek pottery. The exquisite detail and vibrant craftsmanship make this more than just a souvenir—it's a collector's piece.

Decor:
The vase's decor is a perfect example of the Minoan Marine Style, a hallmark of this ancient culture's art. The entire surface is covered in a fluid, dynamic design of dolphins swimming amidst swirling seaweed and other aquatic life. The artwork's graceful lines and naturalistic feel are what make this style so timeless and beautiful.

Material:
Made of high-quality earthenware, the vase is a faithful representation of the material used by ancient potters.

Dimensions:

Height (with support): 37 cm
Height (without support): 31 cm
Diameter (widest point): 15 cm

This item would make a perfect addition to any collection of classical art or serve as a unique decorative centerpiece.
