Key Characteristics
* Material: It is made from clay/ terracotta, with a matte or low-luster glaze finish.
* Design: The vase has an urn or jug shape, with heavy, sculpted rope details that form the handles and an accent around the neck. These rope elements are typically crafted from coiled clay and attached to the body before firing, creating a realistic, three-dimensional texture (known as trompe l'oeil, or fooling the eye).
* Coloration: The finish features blended, mottled glazes in warm tones of orange, yellow, and brown, with some darker black or charcoal aging applied to give it a rustic, weathered appearance.
* Style: Pieces like this are often unmarked, but similar items are produced in the style of American art pottery from the 1920s-1950s as Southwestern Revival/Tuscan style artisan pieces. This piece is in good shape with imperfections due to age. Refer to pictures for details, measurements and item condition. See less
