Likely from a european workshop, it reflects a modernist style reminiscent of certain belgian, italian, or french pieces from the second half of the 20th century. The vase has an elongated ovoid shape and rests on a small, raised circular foot. It features a remarkable architectural decoration composed of four wide, alternating vertical bands. Two sides are covered with a deep, metallic black glaze, while the other two are structured by a network of geometric reliefs evoking stained glass or a mosaic, enhanced with glazes of blood red, glacier blue, and pale yellow with hints of green. The overall effect is a spectacular decorative presence and demonstrates true technical mastery in the glaze and relief work. A truly beautiful and unique piece.

height 36.5 cm, maximum diameter approximately 18-19 cm. In very good overall condition, with no significant flaws on the exterior. Only a few minor enamel flaws are visible on the inside. As a precaution, i advise against using it with water. The vase is perfectly stable, but its relatively narrow base combined with its considerable weight suggests placing it on a secure surface that is not easily damaged. Weight approximately 4 to 5 kg.
