Description
A decorative, hand-crafted amphora with three handles and a traditional pointed base, inspired by ancient Mediterranean vessel forms.
The piece is decorated with colourful horizontal bands in green, yellow, red and light blue, characteristic of 20th-century North African and Levantine pottery workshops.
The surface shows patina, abrasion, small chips and mineral-like deposits, giving the piece a rustic and authentic appearance.
Inside, clear wheel-throwing rings are visible, confirming hand-made ceramic production.
The included metal display stand allows the amphora to be displayed upright, since vessels with pointed bases cannot stand independently.
A characterful vintage decorative object with strong visual presence.
