Vintage Black Terracotta Folk Art Vase: Painted Embossed Geometric Pattern

This fascinating mid-century terracotta earthenware vase features a bulbous body and a short, wide neck, heavily decorated with an intricate, embossed and painted geometric pattern. The base colour is a rich, dark black glaze and a natural, light brown terracotta, with hand-painted details in bright blue, yellow, orange, and white dots. The texture is rough and tactile, featuring a raised, almost basket-weave or diamond-grid texture across the midsection. Given the style, this vase is likely mid-20th century folk pottery from a region like Mexico, Eastern Europe, or Central/South America. Highly Textured Surface: The main body features a raised, impressed diamond pattern that creates a beautiful, rustic texture. Vibrant Folk Art Painting: Hand-painted geometric motifs, chevrons, and rows of raised dots bring a lively, global aesthetic. Warm Terracotta Interior: The unglazed interior has a natural, earthy orange-brown colour, confirming the terracotta material. Deep Colour Contrast: The combination of the dark black glaze and the bright primary-coloured geometric shapes. Adding this vase to your collection will inject your space with an authentic, spirited feel and a connection to traditional global crafts, making you feel well-travelled and culturally enriched. 📏 Dimensions & Weight Height: 25.4 cm / 10 inches Diameter (at widest point): 15.2 cm } / 6  inches Rim Diameter (inner): 7.6 cm / 3 inches Weight: 1.89 kg/ 4.18 pounds
