This imposing vase, or amphora, features a rounded body made of glazed terracotta in a vibrant, glossy yellow ochre. The shape is classic, likely inspired by ancient apothecary or preserving jars. The top of the vase is embellished with a pewter or tin mount that serves as a decorative lid or collar, with a contoured shape that descends to the vase's shoulders. Two ring handles, also made of glazed ceramic and integrated into the body of the vase, add a functional and decorative touch. The base features a small metal rim, matching the top. The sheen of the yellow glaze creates interesting reflections, while the cooler, matte finish of the metal provides a pleasant contrast.
