Handcrafted from unglazed terracotta, the bowl features broad, white slip-painted vertical bands that provide a striking geometric contrast to the warm, earthy clay. The true centerpiece is a vibrant, hand-sculpted lizard or salamander perched playfully along the rim. Finished in a rich, high-gloss variegated glaze of forest green and deep indigo, the reptile adds a splash of color and life to the piece, showcasing a delightful attention to detail and a tactile, sculptural quality.


Perfectly suited for housing small succulents, cacti, or air plants, this vessel includes four integrated drainage holes at the base for optimal plant health. It measures 6.5 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 4.5 inches tall, making it an ideal size for a sunroom windowsill or a curated bookshelf vignette. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying age-appropriate surface wear and minor kiln variations that enhance its authentic handcrafted character and vintage patina. Invite this enchanting creature into your home garden or use it as a unique decorative catchall for your collection. See less
