Handmade Ceramic Box with Lid, Turquoise Crackled Glaze

Description

About the object: This handmade ceramic box with lid stands out with its irregular, almost organic shape and distinct coloring. The turquoise, crackled glaze is accentuated with deep blue brushstrokes and subtle golden details. A small, protruding handle or loop with a through opening is placed on one side, adding to its character and potential use.

Details & Craftsmanship: The object's lid is adorned with a small, golden knob that harmonizes with the other golden details. The glaze exhibits a deliberate craquelure effect, giving the surface a deep and tactile feel. The underside is unglazed and shows a rough texture with a clear, stylized stamp or marking that appears to be a signature or origin mark. The inside is glazed in a tone that matches the exterior.

Condition & Patina: The object is well-preserved with an age-appropriate patina. The crackled glaze is part of its original design and not a sign of damage. No major chips, cracks, or repairs are visible. The unglazed bottom and the roughness of the sides are part of the craftsmanship's character.

Dimensions (approx.): 4.50 × 4.50 × 6.00 cm (length × width × height).
