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.

Antique Moroccan Fez Hand-Carved Ceramic Vase with Arabic Calligraphy, Early 20th Century A remarkable hand-sculpted Moroccan ceramic vase from the historic pottery city of Fez (Fès), celebrated for centuries as the cultural and artistic heart of Moroccan ceramics. This impressive vessel showcases the timeless beauty of Moorish craftsmanship, featuring an earthy dark brown to black clay body meticulously hand-carved with flowing Arabic calligraphy highlighted in contrasting ivory tones. The richly textured surface is entirely hand-incised with elegant Arabic script, inspired by the architectural decoration found throughout the Islamic world. The intricate calligraphy recalls the magnificent inscriptions adorning the walls, arches, and courtyards of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, reflecting the enduring artistic dialogue between Morocco and Al-Andalus. Whether composed of poetry, blessings, or ornamental inscriptions, the calligraphy transforms this vessel into a sculptural work of Islamic art. The vase features a generous flared mouth with a lightly glazed interior and is flanked by two distinctive ribbed side handles, each carefully hand-carved to complement the vessel's architectural form. Its bold silhouette and richly textured surface make it equally striking displayed alone or as a statement vessel for large floral arrangements. Handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations of Fez artisans, this exceptional vase embodies the artistry and cultural heritage of Moroccan pottery. It complements Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Islamic, Organic Modern, Wabi-Sabi, Global, and Bohemian interiors. Origin: Fez (Fès), Morocco Date: Early 20th Century Materials: Hand-thrown and hand-carved ceramic Style: Moorish / Islamic / Moroccan Dimensions: Height: 17.25 in. Diameter: 11 in. Mouth Opening: 6 in. Condition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use.

An exceptional pair of monumental Moroccan glazed ceramic urns, handcrafted in Fez circa 1950 and distinguished by their commanding scale, rich coloration and elaborate Arabic calligraphic decoration. Standing 33 inches high and measuring 16 inches in diameter each, these impressive floor-standing vessels have elegant baluster-shaped bodies surmounted by coordinating fitted lids. Their substantial proportions and strong vertical silhouettes give them an architectural presence rarely encountered in Moroccan decorative pottery. Each urn is covered in a deep, saturated green glaze contrasted against a warm earthen-brown ground. Flowing bands of Arabic calligraphy have been individually incised and carved into the ceramic surface, creating a richly textured design that changes in appearance as light moves across the vessels. The restrained two-color palette allows the intricacy of the lettering and the sculptural contours of the urns to remain the principal focus. The calligraphic decoration reflects the extraordinary importance of the written form within Islamic and Moorish art, where letters are appreciated not only for their meaning but also for their rhythm, balance and visual beauty. Here, the script functions as an ornamental composition, encircling the vessels with expressive movement. The precise wording of the calligraphy has not been independently translated. Handcrafted in Fez, one of Morocco’s most celebrated centers of ceramic production, the urns demonstrate the region’s long tradition of combining thrown earthenware, carved decoration and brilliant glazing. Their layered surfaces and monumental forms also evoke the calligraphic and arabesque ornament found throughout historic Hispano-Moresque architecture, including the palaces and courtyards of Granada and Andalusia. As a matched pair, the urns offer exceptional decorative versatility. They could flank a grand fireplace, Moorish archway, console table or entrance hall, or provide dramatic symmetry within a library, staircase landing or Mediterranean-style interior. They would be equally effective in a protected loggia or covered courtyard, where their deep green glaze would complement limestone, plaster, carved wood and antique textiles. Because they are vintage ceramics, sheltered decorative use is recommended. The pair is presented in good vintage condition with wear and surface variations consistent with age, previous use and traditional hand production. Natural differences in the glaze, carving and form should be appreciated as evidence of their individually handcrafted character. Any use with water should be preceded by professional testing or the addition of watertight liners. Sold as a set of two. Each urn measures 33 inches high by 16 inches in diameter. A rare and highly sculptural pair for collectors of Moroccan pottery, Islamic calligraphy, Moorish decorative arts and monumental architectural objects.
