Pair of Sicilian painted terracotta pine cone vases, 1920s












This pair of green-painted terracotta Sicilian pine cone vases showcases a rich, glossy green glaze with a textured, bulbous design mimicking the natural form of pine cones. The terracotta beneath the glaze is visible in places where the paint has worn, adding a rustic and weathered character to the pieces. The open tops suggest they are functional as vases, while the pine cone motif, a symbol of welcome and abundance in Sicilian tradition, lends them cultural significance. These decorative vases would be striking additions to a Mediterranean or eclectic-style interior. They are in original condition with normal signs of use and age
