Don Venerando Black Vase

This anthropomorphic vase of a Moor man is entirely handmade of ceramic handpainted in a traditional matte black glaze. The beauty of this piece is revealed in the ornate decorative details in the stately headdress, crown, and luscious fruit-filled hair and the captivating gaze, highlighted by a bold panel of gold foil that reveals the striking eyes. The gold foid stands out against the matte black finish for enthralling visual contrast. The vase cannot be filled with water.
