About this piece
This eared vase has a full, rounded body. Two tall, stylised handles run from the shoulder up to the mouth.
It is made in kantjesplateel, a lace technique. Real textile lace was soaked in slip and applied to the pottery. The textile burned away in the kiln and left a three-dimensional relief.
Branch-like and flame-like lace motifs curl asymmetrically across the body in a soft grey-green. They stand out against the bright, glossy white-cream ground.
One of the handles broke off completely and has been replaced with a replica.
