About the Item

This unique vintage ceramic vessel is a fascinating piece of studio pottery, characterized by its deep, smoky black glaze and striking geometric patterning. The traditional water jug form features a functional spout and a substantial handle, lending it a primitive, hand-made aesthetic. The decoration is achieved through sgraffito or etching, where the dark glaze is scratched away to reveal the lighter clay body beneath, creating bold, triangular, and zigzag tribal motifs. This piece channels the artistic focus on texture and global influence popular in the mid-century art pottery movement. Perfect for display on a kitchen shelf, accenting a coffee table, or integrated into a sophisticated global-themed collection, this teapot introduces an immediate element of rustic artistry. Measuring 7.25 inches wide, 6.75 inches deep, and 8 inches tall, its compact size is ideal for display. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying minor imperfections inherent to handcrafted ceramics, which authenticate its history and add to its desirable patina. Acquire this compelling, textural vessel to elevate your curated decor.
