Deep, volcanic, speckled with black like embers still glowing, it stops you in your tracks before you even notice the fish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis ceramic vase comes from a private collection originally assembled in Malta and brought to a small shop in Konstanz, Germany. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe background glaze is a rich brick red with dense black brushwork giving it an almost lava-like texture. Against this, a boldly outlined fish is painted in black with white circles, olive green and cobalt blue, the style reminiscent of stained glass. The motif wraps partially around the body, with the design shifting as you turn the vase. The interior is glazed in clean cream white, and the base carries the handwritten model number 815.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe classic amphora shape, with its wide shoulders, tapered neck and flared rim, gives the piece a timeless quality that works equally well in a modern or eclectic interior.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vase measures approximately 15 cm tall and 6.8 cm wide (5.9 × 2.7 inches) and weighs 304 g.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Maltese ceramics from this same collection are available in my shop, do have a browse!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nColor may vary on your screen (slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color)\u003cbr\u003e\nSome lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur.

Das aufgemalte Fischmotiv in Schwarz, Weiß, Olivgrün und Kobaltblau erinnert an Buntglasfenster und schmiegt sich um den bauchigen Körper der Vase. Auf dem Boden ist die Modellnummer 815 handschriftlich vermerkt. Ein ausdrucksstarkes Sammlerstück aus den 1960er Jahren in sehr gutem Vintage-Zustand.","brand":"Etsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57759519768908,"sku":"1209","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/3589\/8956\/files\/il_fullxfull.7975911354_mmqt.jpg?v=1781091965","url":"https:\/\/oldworldthrifts.com\/products\/maltese-hand-painted-ceramic-vase-fish-motif-red-black-glaze-1960s-model-815","provider":"Old World Thrifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
