Overview

A striking three-legged ceramic vessel featuring multiple spouts and a central bridge handle, finished in a textured, speckled glaze with incised geometric waves.

Story

Ancient potters in the Aegean used tripod legs to ensure their vessels remained stable on the uneven, rocky floors of sun-drenched villas and temples.

Maker / Origin

While the specific artist's mark isn't visible, this piece reflects the high-caliber work of the Greek studio pottery movement that flourished during the post-war era.

Condition & Value

Based on the photograph, the vessel appears to be in excellent structural condition. Value is driven by the complexity of the form and the 'one-of-a-kind' studio nature.
