Moroccan Cream Ceramic Amphora with Brass and Silver Metalwork Cladding

Size:  23"W x 48"H x 23"D - (Mouth Opening: 10"W)

SKU#: VA136

A monumental Moroccan amphora vessel hand-thrown in terracotta and finished in a luminous cream crackle glaze, richly clad with bands of hand-hammered brass and embossed silvered metalwork at the neck, shoulder, and footed base. The metalwork is executed in the Marrakech silversmithing vocabulary — repoussé diamond cartouches, eight-pointed star rosettes, scalloped pendant edging, and beaded borders — applied across the upper register and around the dramatic pedestal foot. Twin ceramic handles flank the neck, anchoring the silhouette in the classical amphora form. The natural crackle pattern of the cream glaze gives the cream ground its quiet patina, contrasting beautifully against the warm gold of the brass.

A statement vessel meant to stand alone as sculpture. Ideal as a floor-standing piece flanking a fireplace, an entry console, a doorway, or anchoring a corner of a designed room. Equally suited to traditional Andalusi, Moorish revival, bohemian, and Mediterranean interiors.
