Large Pale Purple Weed Vase with Sgraffito Decoration host gifts looks positively Goya-esque—at center stageA big, beautiful weed vase, with a nice fat, round body, lovely pale purple glaze, and banded sgraphitto (incised) decoration around the shoulders.

In excellent vintage condition, with no visible flaws whatsoever. 6 widest diameter, 4 3 4 tall; 3 1 2 across at base; 1 2 at opening.
