This hand-shaped terracotta vessel features a wide, flared rim and a tapered body, intricately decorated with a sophisticated Mozaik surface that blends geometric precision with fluid, organic lines. The exterior is defined by repeating heart-shaped and diamond-lattice borders rendered in sky blue and cobalt glass shards, which frame delicate, embossed slip-trailed vines adorned with amber gold glass “teardrops.” Small floral mandalas with iridescent white centers are spaced evenly around the circumference, set against a smooth, matte grey grout that provides a neutral, stone-like foundation for the light-reflective glass elements. The composition reflects a contemporary Balinese interpretation of classical architectural motifs, utilizing repetitive, hand-set tiling to transform a heavy clay form into an ornate, high-contrast decorative object that celebrates the intersection of Mediterranean symmetry and local artisanal assembly.
