This splendid piece combines the high craftsmanship of the renowned Umbrian ceramic tradition with remarkable versatility, allowing it to be displayed as a simple sculpture or used as an original vase and bottle.

Subject and Style: The contoured half-length figure is distinguished by a captivating double-sided design. On one side, a proud, period male face with a mustache, goatee, and historical uniform is depicted; on the other, a delicate female face adorned with classical robes and a tiara. The bold brushstrokes lend great expressiveness and character to the composition.
