Handcrafted with striking visual depth, the baluster-form body features a continuous 360-degree narrative displaying two distinct abstract human profiles.

One side showcases a highly textured, mosaic-like face accented in white crackle glaze that gazes into a vibrant yellow and orange split-face portrait. The reverse side presents a contrasting smooth white profile framed by bold arches of green, red, and black.

Thick, raised black relief lines crisply delineate each section, separating a complex patchwork of hand-painted geometric patterns, multi-colored diamond lattices, textured scales, and striking striped bands.

The entire composition is elegantly framed by wide, brilliant metallic gold bands encircling both the flared rim and the tapered base, with a matching gold wash extending into the interior throat. See less
