A striking and heavily weathered terracotta garden urn (or "orcia"), featuring rich Neoclassical relief carvings. This substantial piece is decorated with bold mascarons (grotesque faces) and draped fruit festoons (garlands) that wrap around the bulbous body. Interspersed between the garlands are elegant cartouche shields, adding a stately, noble character to the design.
The urn sits on a tapered base finished with a gadrooned leaf border and features a thick, rolled rim. The surface boasts an authentic, time-worn patina with remnants of lichen and mineral deposits, offering the "perfectly aged" look sought after for both formal gardens and sophisticated interior sunrooms.
Whether used as a functional planter or displayed as a standalone sculptural element, this urn brings a sense of Old World history and Mediterranean charm to any space.
