Italian Hand-Glazed Terracotta Urn with Scroll Handles

A striking large-scale Italian terracotta vase, richly glazed in vibrant tones of emerald green, saffron yellow, and rust. This hand-thrown vessel features ornate raised handles and Moorish-inspired decorative bands, rendered with rhythmic, architectural patterns and textured details.

The shape is bold yet classical, with curled handles and a wide, tapering body. The glaze technique creates a depth of color and subtle surface variation typical of southern Italian ceramics. Ideal as a sculptural accent, statement vessel, or collector’s piece.

Please note one area of glaze loss to one handle, consistent with age and use.
