This elegant terracotta vase is beautifully fashioned in the classic style of an ancient Mediterranean amphora, showcasing a stately neoclassical silhouette enhanced by a rich, gilt painted finish. The vessel is flanked by two applied, beautifully elongated, and dramatically curving handles. Measuring approximately 17 1/8 in. H x 8 1/4 in. in diameter, the piece presents an attractive, time-worn appearance; it exhibits some surface abrasions and a beautifully aged patina to the gilt finish
