This vintage terracotta large vase is the only of its kind. Hand-molded and cured 50 years+ years ago. The bulbous and simple shape is complimented by sculpted clay spikes that envelop the surface of the vessel. A texture reminiscent of a sandy beach or like the desert floor about 90% of the surface texture is course, and authentic finish that is composite provided by decades of direct exposure to natural elements causing oxidization. The sculptural terracotta vase has a color scheme that ranges from dark smoke beige on the superficial layers. The deeper layers reveal a burnt mahogany with flecks of ebony; which appear around the rim also appear on some the spikes.   

While the artist is unknown, it is known that the region of Central Mexico where this vintage sculptural vase comes from has a dense ceramic sculpting and clay molding heritage and history.
