This antique vase, from the 1850s and sourced from Yorkshire, was one of six, each piece a different size serving a different purpose.
They would have likely been utilised in a household context, such as in the kitchen, to store various foods like grains or vegetables.
This vessel is quite sturdy and holds its look of solidity with a highly reflective black glaze. Left untreated, a duller terracotta tone wraps around the base like a band, adding contrast to the smooth silhouette of this slightly tapering vase.
*Our pieces at Studio Zagara may show signs of age and wear, which is just how we like them. They carry with them years of history, so any imperfections should not be viewed as damaged or flawed, but rather the combined stories of people’s lives and experiences.
