Papyri Eyed Matte-Brown Stoneware Vase

A subtly bulging body fashioned of stoneware and externally decorated with a repetition of hand-etched eyes characterizes this vase. Inspired by a couple of renowned bronze statues found in the Ercolano archeological site, the piece was deliberately left matte on the outside to evoke the idea of a precious just digged-out find. A hand-painted blue-eyed variant is available in the Artemest catalog.
