Moroccan Cream-Glazed Double-Gourd Lidded Urn with Brass Metalwork Collar

Size: 13"W x 21"H x 13"D (Mouth Opening: 6"W)

SKU#: VA146

A double-gourd lidded urn in the Fassi tradition of Fez, hand-thrown and finished in a plain cream glaze rather than painted decoration. Both bulbs are left unadorned, so you see the warm tone of the glaze itself — the subtle wheel-throwing lines, the speckling, and the soft crazing that come from being made the traditional way. It's the quiet one of the group.

With no painted pattern competing for attention, the metalwork carries the whole piece. A wide collar of hand-worked brass and silvered metal belts the waist — beaded wire, embossed lozenges, and a scalloped apron of metal plaques dropping over the lower bulb — and a matching band wraps the neck below a metal-capped finial.

The pared-back look makes this one easy to place. The neutral cream reads as a calmer, more organic take on the form, and works as well in a modern or minimalist room as in a traditional, Moorish, or Mediterranean one. A natural fit for an entry console, mantel, sideboard, or shelf.
