Antique Two-Piece Terracotta Hourglass Vessel – Sculptural Rustic Pottery

About the Item

This antique two-piece terracotta vessel is a remarkable example of early handcrafted pottery, featuring an hourglass-inspired form that exudes rustic charm and sculptural appeal. The vessel consists of two separate, stackable pieces, seamlessly fitting together to create a harmonious silhouette. With its wide flared top, tapered waist, and solid base, this piece embodies both functionality and artistry, making it a versatile statement object for interior décor. The rich earthy tones range from warm tan to deep orange-brown, with natural color variations and firing marks that enhance its aged character. The surface exhibits a beautiful weathered patina, subtle textural imperfections, and visible chips that speak to its authentic history and handcrafted origins. This piece can be displayed as a sculptural centerpiece, used to hold dried arrangements, or integrated into a collection of antique and tribal pottery. Whether placed in a modern, rustic, or traditional setting, its distinctive shape and timeworn beauty make it an eye-catching addition to any space.
