Original Handpainted Amphora
This amphora is a very prestigious piece of our company's artistic and craftsmanship.
The decoration depicted is very old, dating from around the 17th century and is now on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The amphora is created following the equally ancient method, starting with clay that is shaped on a potter's wheel. The handle, also made by hand, is attached and checked throughout the process of drying the clay in order for it to remain straight, sometimes even for a whole month.
The design, is done with brushes and colors by hand before placing the piece in the kiln at about 1,000 degrees, which will immortalize the color in the pottery forever.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the shipping times?
If the vase is in stock, shipping takes approximately one week. Delivery is expected within 15 days, depending on the destination. If the vase is not in our stock, the lead time for making and delivery to your home could be up to 6-8 weeks longer.
Is the vase weather-resistant?
The vase is designed to withstand rain, sun, and cold without losing its quality or vibrant colors. However, at temperatures below freezing, the decoration may be affected. During winter months, where temperatures drop significantly below zero, we recommend covering the vase with a protective sheet or placing it in a sheltered area, such as under a porch, to prevent potential fractures in the decoration.
How should I care for the ceramic?
These vases require no special maintenance. To keep them clean, simply dust them occasionally with a damp cloth and water, avoiding harsh cleaning products.
