Olive Green Glazed Cylindrical Urn with Brass Filigree Metalwork

Size: 12"W x 31"H x 12"D - (Mouth Opening: 10"W)

SKU#: VA139

A Moroccan cylindrical floor urn finished in a saturated olive green glaze with the natural drip and pooling character of traditional Tamegroute pottery, dramatically crowned with hand-twisted brass filigree metalwork at the rim and base. The upper register carries an elegant scalloped pendant skirt of finely beaded and twisted wirework in the Tiznit-Marrakech silversmithing vocabulary, finished with a guilloché lip at the mouth of the vessel. A matching pendant border anchors the base. The straight cylindrical silhouette gives the piece a column-like presence, distinguishing it from the more common conical or amphora forms.

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