Featuring a unique coiled rope or spiral motif, the vessel is adorned with a whimsical menagerie of animals in high relief. From a majestic lion and a colorful peacock to prowling leopards and barnyard roosters, each figure is individually modeled and finished in a classic Majolica-style glaze.
The cream-colored ground provides a clean backdrop that makes the rich greens, ochre yellows, and deep blues of the hand-painted details pop. The spiral "rope" design adds incredible texture and movement, wrapping around the tapered body of the vase. This piece functions beautifully as a standalone sculptural object or as a conversation-starting vessel for a large floral arrangement. See less
