Vintage Tall Italian Greek Revival Terracotta Vase

$1,400.00

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 is the tallest vessel in the collection, standing 18 inches high with an elongated body that narrows into a long neck and dramatically flared mouth. Painted figures appear in individual panels around the body, separated by broad vertical bands of scrolling palmettes, with another band of foliate decoration encircling the shoulder.

Its unusually tall proportions give the vessel a presence that feels almost architectural, especially when seen alongside the smaller pieces from the collection.

ORIGIN: Italy

PERIOD: 20th Century

MATERIALS: Terracotta

CONDITION: Good vintage condition. Each vessel shows varying degrees of patina and surface wear, including scuffs, scratches, discoloration, areas of finish loss, small chips, and cracking.
