Measures approximately 14 1/4 inches across and 5 1/8 inches tall.
Stunning hand painted pottery centerpiece bowl beautifully decorated with sea creatures.
Interior of bowl is nicely decorated with colorful fish, an octopus, a manta ray, and corals.
Background is finished in a rich white glaze and accented with hundreds of black dots.
Body and rim of piece is finished in a green glaze.
There are possibly artist’s initials written in the body of the octopus, but we were unable to interpret them.
We believe the piece to be made in Europe, possibly Italy, Portugal, Greece, or somewhere else in the Mediterranean, based upon our research, the quality of craftsmanship, and the variety of marine animals.
Surface wear as seen in pictures.
Green glaze has lifted on small areas, particularly around the rim and base, revealing a red clay / terracotta material.
Weighs approximately 5 pounds, 9 ounces by itself.
