Terracotta amphorae pitcher produced by Vetus Siena in the early 1970s as part of their opening years. Forest green glazed interior and rim. A functional and elevated old world treasure. Signed by the artist.

Vetus Siena pottery is characterized by both formal and decorative complexity. Vetus translates to "old" in Italian, suggesting a connection to the long-standing traditions of pottery and terracotta in the Siena region. Siena has indeed been a significant center for Italian ceramics, known for its maiolica and other pottery forms since at least the 13th century.

"Terrecotte trattate con procedimento unico al mondo": This Italian phrase translates to "terracottas treated with a unique process in the world," a testament to Vetus Siena's dedication to unique craftsmanship. This claim was validated by a gold medal awarded at the 349th International Craft Exhibition in Florence.
