Product description
Here's a vibrant terracotta vase by Italian designer Stefania Boemi. This piece puts a playful, modern spin on the classic Moorish head sculptures, known as 'teste di moro', from Sicilian tradition. The striking fuchsia pink and gold leaf combination makes it a real statement piece.
Crafted from terracotta, this vase features a matte pink finish that covers the entire surface, contrasted by a bold, hand-applied gold leaf band across the eyes. The sculpture is rich with detail, from the ornate crown to the sculpted fruit like grapes and lemons adorning the hair. This design is a hallmark of Boemi's work, which often reinterprets historical forms with a contemporary, pop-art sensibility.
The vase is in good condition, showing character consistent with its handmade nature and previous life. The matte surface has a tactile quality that highlights the sculptural form. It's a fantastic piece for adding a splash of colour and personality to any room, whether used to hold a floral arrangement or displayed as a standalone art object. It fits perfectly within an eclectic, maximalist, or Hollywood Regency interior.
