This tall, bottle-necked vase was created by an artisan of the Igbo people of Nigeria. Bottle forms, once common in pre-historic West African ceramics, are rare in the historic record. An elongated neck meets the oblong body with a slight ridge, mirrored below where etched decoration turns into a textured underside. With graceful proportions and a rich surface, this bottle vase is an understated display of the potter's exquisite skill and aesthetic sense.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
