Emerald openwork handmade vase

Charming terracotta vase with a pretty emerald green glaze. An openwork vase is original, perhaps it had another use than for bouquets of dried flowers It reminds me of vases from North Africa, but I have no certainty about its origin. In any case, it is a handcrafted work that was probably difficult to achieve. It is in good condition, no cracks or chips but original defects that testify to its handcrafted manufacture: a small lack of glaze inside the neck, roughness and various marks (under the glaze of the body of the vase and on the edge of the base). It has two small marks under the base including a sort of cross drowned under the glaze, perhaps the signature of the ceramist It measures 14 cm in height for a maximum diameter of approximately 11 cm, the diameter at the top edge is 5.5 cm.
