About the Item

Bulbous-form figural ceramic vase / candleholder. Marvelous textural elements: an unglazed slab with a hole for a candle or flowers was applied to an orb-shaped base with a woman's face on the front and a beastly figure on the back (hence, the incised script on the front 'Femina el Fera," translating from Catalan to mean "Female Beast"). Intriguing piece, with nice patina / wear from age (namely craze lines, as shown). Incised "Polk" signature present to the underside.
