About the Item
This terracotta vessel was fired to a warm yellow-brown that shows subtle oxidation marks across the surface. Entirely unglazed, it retains a matte, tactile finish with fine pores and minor rim abrasion—evidence of natural ageing—yet the body remains sound, with no signs of restoration.
Its overall silhouette evokes a bear or dog. A wide, oval snout functions as the pouring mouth, while small triangular ears and softly modelled eye ridges lend character to the head. The body opens into a broad, rearward-flaring bowl, supported below by a single stout peg-leg; two small lateral nubs suggest fore-limbs or purely decorative elements. The piece balances utility with rustic zoomorphic charm, adding a primitive warmth to any setting.
