Its character is immediately apparent: on the cylindrical neck, an expressive face stands out in relief, with its ringed eyes, generous nose, mustache, and mouth sketched like a half-smile. Below, the conical body is animated by two hands with carefully modeled fingers, as if the bottle were grasping itself. A true piece of studio pottery to display, contemplate, and adopt.

The ceramic is antique. The speckled glaze, in beautiful shades of brown, beige, and black, is intense. The material is vibrant, deep, almost mineral. The piece is in good condition; a tiny chip in the glaze is visible on the underside of the neck, as seen in the photo. The piece is signed on the bottom.

Beneath the base, an engraved handwritten signature attests to the unique nature of the work—an original piece, not a mass-produced item.
