The Narrative

The Soul of the Object

This magnificent, large-scale lidded urn is a masterful example of Moroccan craftsmanship, blending traditional ceramic techniques with ornate metalwork. Hand-thrown from local clay, the body of the urn is adorned with a striking contrast of dark brown and cream geometric and arabesque patterns, finished with a distinctive crackle glaze that gives it an antique, textured feel. The bold designs draw inspiration from ancient Moorish architecture and tilework. Adding to its grandeur are elaborate bands of embossed copper and brass metalwork encircling the neck and base. These metal accents feature detailed floral and foliate motifs, hammered by hand to create depth and richness. The lid is similarly decorated, topped with a metal finial, completing the piece's regal silhouette. Created by skilled artisans in the historic city of Fez, this urn is not merely a decorative object but a statement piece that embodies centuries of artistic tradition. Its imposing size and intricate details make it a captivating focal point for any entryway, living space, or covered patio, bringing a touch of Moroccan exoticism and elegance to your home.

"Every imperfection tells a story of human hands at work."
