Moroccan Cobalt Blue Ceramic Terracotta Glazed Vase Hand Crafted Decorated with Silver Metal Onlay & Inlaid Cabochons

This is certainly a very eye catching ceramic work of art from Morocco dating from the early 20th Century period around 1920-1930 being hand thrown in terracotta with a dark cobalt blue finish heavily glazed. The outside of this most pleasingly shaped vessel is finished with a decorative silver coloured metal onlay, all carefully worked by hand into shapes circling the top and bottom of the Vase. The distinct star shape design which appears three times on the sides of the Vase with each star having six points and with a centre onlay of unknown cabochon ivory coloured like bone. There is one tiny chip inside the top rim which is not too noticeable and some wear and distress to the ivory coloured cabochons consistent with age. The Vase is certainly a one off individual piece and to a collector of Moroccan pottery, would be an exceptional piece to add to any collection. Very desirable and interesting work of art, such that it would not look out of place in a specialist museum. The turned wooden ebonised round base stand is modern but enhances the item for display.
