This hand-shaped terracotta vessel features a wide, angular body that tapers into a slender, elongated neck with a rustic, uneven rim. The front-facing surface is meticulously adorned with a vibrant glass mosaic depicting a lush botanical arrangement of blooming peonies and lilies in varied shades of mustard yellow, dusty rose, and deep ochre. Each glass petal and leaf shard is hand-set into a weathered, chalky white wash, creating a tactile contrast against the smooth, sky-blue gradient applied to the neck. The composition reflects a contemporary Balinese artisanal approach to the Mozaik technique, where discarded glass fragments are repurposed into intricate floral scenery, resulting in a primitive yet celebratory object that balances the matte, earthy qualities of fired clay with the light-reflecting brilliance of glass.
