Vintage Italian Greek Revival Terracotta Two-Handled Vase No. 01
Made in Italy during the late 20th century, this terracotta vessel reflects the period’s fascination with the art and objects of the ancient Mediterranean. Its form and hand-painted decoration draw from ancient Greek pottery, with black-painted figures and classical motifs set against the warm terracotta ground.
This vessel has a rounded body with a wide, flared mouth, small foot, and a pair of horizontal handles at either side. A continuous narrative unfolds around the body, with several figural scenes separated by scrolling palmette motifs. One depicts a figure confronting a lion, while another shows two figures gathered around a vessel. A Greek key border circles the shoulder, followed by a band of radiating leaf forms around the mouth.
At just 6.5 inches tall, its broad proportions and pair of handles give it a very different presence from the taller vessels in the collection.
Signed “Tarquinia” on the underside.
