The Narrative

The Soul of the Object

This majestic floor vase is a monumental testament to the fusion of Moroccan artisan traditions. Standing as a piece of architectural decor rather than mere pottery, it combines the earthy solidity of a large earthenware base with the opulent sheen of hand-worked metal and the vibrant texture of crushed stone inlay. It is designed to command attention in any grand entryway, riad courtyard, or luxury living space, anchoring the room with its imposing silhouette. The surface is a complex tapestry of texture and history. Skilled artisans have applied sheets of copper and brass metal over the ceramic form, using traditional repoussé and chasing techniques to hammer out raised floral arabesques, swirling filigree, and geometric medallions. The metal carries an aged patina that enhances the relief work. The spaces between the metallic designs are painstakingly filled with a composite of crushed colored stones and resin—in hues of muted rose, cream, charcoal, and earthy brown—creating a mosaic-like effect that contrasts beautifully with the warm metal. More than just a vessel, this amphora-style urn is a narrative of skilled labor and artistic heritage. The intricate patterns evoke ancient Moorish designs, bringing a touch of imperial Morocco to modern interiors. Due to the intense handcrafted nature of applying the metal and inlay, each vase is unique, carrying the individual mark of the master craftsman who spent weeks bringing its complex surface to life.

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