The form is extraordinary — a wide, round, low-bellied body rising from a small flat base, its shoulder encircled by a bold band of incised four-petal pinwheel or compass rose flower marks, each flower a bold incised form with four curved petal marks radiating from a central point. Above the shoulder, a bold tapered neck rises, its surface smooth and even. At the very top, a spectacular open twisted flame or petal finial crowns the vessel — its bold twisted clay coils rising and curling inward to a bold pointed tip, creating a dramatic open lantern or flame form that catches the light beautifully. The entire piece is fired to a warm rich terracotta — its surface smooth where unadorned and richly textured at the finial. A work of extraordinary craft, sculptural drama, and decorative beauty. Suitable for display as a sculptural vessel or decorative centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece — not a reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-thrown and sculpted terracotta clay — kiln fired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpectacular open twisted flame or petal finial at the crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold incised pinwheel flower band at the shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm rich terracotta finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for display as a sculptural vessel or decorative centrepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA perfect collector's piece or bold interior statement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 16 inches (height) × 8 inches (width at widest point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artisan's Village Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56458804854950,"sku":"ART-086","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/9407\/5302\/files\/IQP_8797.jpg?v=1778504346","url":"https:\/\/shopwithavc.com\/products\/african-terracotta-vessel-with-flame-finial-flower-band-handcrafted-clay-pottery","provider":"Artisan's Village Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
