Its primary hue is a medium, warm brown with subtle reddish notes, while the satin-gloss surface is punctuated by irregular speckled patterns in white, beige, and soft yellow—reminiscent of the lava glaze approaches popular in mid-century ceramics. Spot gilding and hand-painted detailing accentuate the dynamic surface, referencing both decorative artistry and functional clarity. The robust handles flow smoothly from the vessel’s body, emphasizing careful craftsmanship and balanced proportions as the form tapers from a rounded base to a slender neck. The vase is signed by the manufacturer. It remains in excellent original condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs—only faint natural patina signifying gentle, time-honored use.
