Well known ceramic artist Mara (Maria Luisa Torres) created this beautiful artisan piece. It not only is painted yet etched for some texturing accents. It's heavy for its size. Although the company has carried on, Mara passed in 2007. See pictures for measurements and Mara's life details. The other ceramic pieces in the picture nor paperwork is included; only the decanter/vase. Handmade & painted art has unique markings, although it's not worn, some areas may be perfectly imperfect with an artist point of view. Smoke Free pet loving home.
