Large Tunisian earthenware amphora vase with vivid yellow glaze and hand-painted green decoration, likely dating to the early 20th century. This sculptural Mediterranean pottery vessel features four looped handles, freehand manganese detailing, and a beautifully timeworn surface that reflects decades of age and use.
The rich citron-yellow glaze is contrasted by flowing green bands and dripped decoration around the neck, giving the piece strong rustic character and an unmistakably Mediterranean feel. The amphora form, combined with the expressive hand-painted motifs, makes this a wonderfully decorative statement piece for shelves, consoles, kitchen interiors, or layered rustic spaces.
A highly decorative piece of North African pottery with strong sculptural presence and beautifully weathered surfaces.
