Pretty vase with a very original shape with 6 facets at the level of the body and a stretched neck. The hand-painted patterns suggest that this vase comes from the safi region of morocco, but no trace of signature or marking. It has rough edges to the touch, and seems quite old to me but i'm not knowledgeable enough to say so. Perhaps a souvenir brought back from a trip in the 50s or 60s. In any case, it is handmade, the patterns were painted by hand, the color has faded in places, I don't know if it's from origin or if time can have this kind of effect. It is in good general condition, no cracks or chips but traces of time: the enameling shows cracks, stains and abrasions of the varnish. It measures 23 cm in height and 12 cm in width.
