Antique Moroccan Fez Blue & White Ceramic Footed Vase with Filigree Metal Overlay, Early 20th Century. Dimensions: 10 in. x 14 inc. H. A striking antique Moroccan ceramic footed vase handcrafted in the historic city of Fez (Fès), renowned for producing some of Morocco's finest pottery for centuries. Dating to the early 20th century, this impressive vessel beautifully combines the celebrated ceramic traditions of Fez with the intricate artistry of Moroccan metalwork. Wheel-thrown from high-quality earthenware, the vase is decorated in the iconic "Bleu de Fès" palette, featuring richly painted cobalt blue floral and geometric motifs set against a luminous crackled white glaze. This distinctive blue-and-white decoration has long been associated with the master potters of Fez and reflects centuries of Andalusian, Moorish, and Islamic artistic influence. The ceramic body is enhanced by an elaborate handcrafted filigree metal overlay, composed of finely worked white metal and brass elements that wrap gracefully around the neck, body, handles, and pedestal foot. Decorative embossed bands, intricate openwork, and circular ring handles create a sophisticated interplay between ceramic and metal, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of Moroccan artisans. Its elegant baluster form, raised pedestal base, and twin ring handles evoke the refined decorative objects once found in traditional Moroccan riads and palaces. Originally created as an ornamental vase for displaying flowers or simply admired as a work of art, today it remains a stunning statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Rich in history and craftsmanship, this vase complements Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Islamic, Hollywood Regency, Global, and Bohemian interiors, making it equally desirable for collectors and interior designers. Origin: Fez (Fès), Morocco Date: Early 20th Century Materials: Hand-thrown ceramic, white metal and brass filigree overlay Style: Moorish / Islamic / Moroccan Condition: Very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear consistent with use. Beautiful craquelure to the glaze and a rich patina to the metalwork, enhancing its authenticity and character. A superb example of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, this antique Fez vase...

19th Century Moroccan Brass Hanukkah Oil Lamp Menorah, Antique Jewish Judaica. An exceptional antique 19th-century Moroccan Jewish Hanukkah oil lamp, or Hanukkiah, attributed to Morocco, possibly the historic Jewish metalworking center of Sefrou, circa 1880–1890. Crafted in cast brass or bronze-toned copper alloy, this finely detailed North African Judaica menorah is a beautiful example of traditional Sephardic Jewish ceremonial art and Moroccan folk craftsmanship. The richly ornamented openwork backplate features a central Tree of Life, flanked by two stylized lions and surrounded by birds, scrolling foliage, and intricate vegetal motifs. The symmetrical composition is framed by architectural columns and elaborate pierced decoration, reflecting the distinctive artistic vocabulary of antique Moroccan Jewish metalwork and the broader decorative traditions of North Africa. The Tree of Life, lions, and birds are particularly meaningful motifs in Jewish ceremonial art. The Tree of Life evokes spiritual continuity and wisdom, while the lions are traditionally associated with strength, protection, and the Lion of Judah. Together, these expressive symbols create an intricate sculptural composition characteristic of historic North African Hanukkah lamps. At the summit of the backplate is an elevated oil cup serving as the shamash, or attendant light. Below, a projecting row of eight individually formed, elongated oil reservoirs was designed to hold olive oil and wicks, one light for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah. This traditional nine-light arrangement distinguishes the Hanukkiah from the seven-branched Temple menorah. The cast-metal surface retains its deep, naturally aged brown patina, with areas of oxidation and green verdigris that accentuate the relief decoration and openwork craftsmanship. The original surface has been preserved without polishing, retaining the authentic antique character prized by collectors of historic Judaica and Jewish ritual objects. Historical Attribution and Museum References This distinctive type of cast-metal Hanukkah lamp belongs to a documented tradition of Moroccan Jewish ceremonial metalwork, particularly associated with Jewish communities in Fez, Meknes, and Sefrou during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Related examples can be found in important museum collections, including: Princeton University Art Museum: A Moroccan cast and chased brass Hanukkah lamp attributed to the Fez-Meknes region, circa 1875. The Jewish Museum, New York: A late 19th- to early 20th-century cast copper-alloy Hanukkah lamp attributed to Sefrou, Morocco. Center for Jewish Art, Hebrew University of Jerusalem: A Moroccan Hanukkah lamp from Sefrou, circa 1900, documenting the regional tradition of cast brass ceremonial lamps. Additional scholarly references include Lights in the Atlas Mountains: Hanukkah Lamps from the Collection of Zeyde Schulmann, published by the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and Mordechai Narkiss's The Hanukkah Lamp, both important references for the study of historic Jewish ceremonial lighting. These related museum examples and publications offer valuable stylistic and historical comparisons, although they do not independently establish the precise workshop or date of manufacture of the present lamp.
