Mediterranean Multicolored Amphora Vases

This is a wonderful piece of Italian pottery! The shape is that of a classic amphora. The artisans Ceramiche di Sicilia, located just outside Palermo, Sicily, Italy, made this quintessentially Sicilian piece. They also named the Pantelleria pattern after the small island located in the Strait of Sicily. We love that connection so we kept the name. You can see the influence of the little fishing villages just 30 nautical miles off the coast of Tunisia.
This large vase is 10″ at its widest point and the opening is 5.25″ in diameter. Measurements are approximate.

Made of terracotta with vibrant glazed motifs on the matte surface, the Amphora Large Vase is a colorful paradox; while the shape is rooted in ancient Greece, the decorations were inspired by cubism. Bringing the motifs into the modern day, the colorful contemporary renderings will draw attention in any space. The multicolored decorative jug will be a definite conversation-starter, as it was inspired by Picasso and celebrates Mediterranean culture during the 1940s.
