Italian Green Glazed Vase

An antique hand-thrown vase with an iridescent green glaze, set against an earthy ochre base. Dating back to the mid 1800s, this perfectly formed vessel with its uniquely fluted spout was originally used to hold Holy Water. With its elegant form and deep green glaze, it has a gothic quality that sets it apart from the utility pieces of the region, and highlights the skill of the artisan/maker. 

Today, this wonderful piece would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative display piece to inject color into any home or space.

Found in Ostuni, Italy.
