This example features a vivid turquoise patination layered with soft light bronze banding, creating a rich, atmospheric surface with subtle tonal variation. The finish has a slightly textured, almost granular quality typical of ikora metalwork, giving the piece depth and a dynamic interaction with light. The form is compact and elegantly proportioned, with a rounded body and gently flared rim—an understated yet sculptural art deco silhouette. Condition: very good vintage condition with light, even wear consistent with age. The patina is well preserved and attractive.
