Wonderfully sculptural and full of personality, the piece features a sitting monkey whose beautifully arched tail loops backward to form the handle. In a striking twist of cheeky kitsch, the monkey grips a hollowed snake, whose open mouth serves as the functional pouring spout.Crafted in Italy from majolica ceramic, the body features a sleek, high-gloss white glaze accented by charming hand-painted touches, including expressive dark eyes, a tiny snout, and soft pink washes lining the ears. Perfect as a functional cocktail carafe, an unexpected floral vase, or a standout conversation piece on a shelf. See less
