this vase is distinguished by its sculptural silhouette, flared neck, and two generously modeled side handles. Its graphic decoration combines deep green, ochre brown, black, and creamy white in a play of undulating and geometric patterns. The enamel, with its irregular shades, underscores its handcrafted and expressive character.
