About the Item

Part of an exquisite series of fully handcrafted vases paying homage to the characteristic folklore of Sicilian street vendors, this one-off ceramic vase glazed in matt white is an ironic anthropomorphic reproduction of Carmelina, a female seller of prickly pears. Lips and ears are accented in vibrant red, while the nose matches the head and appears surmounted by a lush crown of green prickly pear leaves. Safe for outdoor and indoor use, alike.
