Anthropomorphic Amphora #1

An unadorned sculptural charm distinguishes this amphora in terracotta, lathed and molded by hand to shape its anthropomorphic design. Simultaneously serving a functional and decorative purpose, this design is crafted following a specific slip technique – called “ingobbio” – in which several layers of liquid clay overlap before getting fired to create an enthralling look that will accent any surface with subtle sophistication.
