The sails sweep upward from the shoulder of the vase, the hull sits low and wide, and the whole image has an almost mid-century poster quality, confident, colourful, and full of movement.\u0026lt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form is a wide-shouldered teardrop with a gently flared neck. The background is a deep volcanic red, mottled with black in loose hand-applied brushwork that gives the surface energy and depth. The interior is glazed in clean off-white. The base carries a hand-incised number 516, no maker‘s mark or country stamp.\u003cbr\u003e\nBased on style, glaze, and provenance, Malta, circa 1960s. The exact atelier remains unidentified despite research.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis vase comes from a private collection originally assembled in Malta and brought to a small shop in Konstanz, Germany.
