History:
In the realm of art, pottery, applied art, craft, construction, and architecture, “terracotta” is a term commonly associated with red-cultured earthenware sculptures and functional articles. These may include flower pots, water and waste water pipes, tableware, roofing tiles, and surface embellishments on buildings. Terracotta, in this context, is often used to describe objects like figurines and loom weights that were not made on a potter’s wheel. Vessels and objects made on a wheel from the same material are typically referred to as earthenware.
In archaeology and art history, the term “terracotta” helps distinguish objects based on their shaping technique rather than the material itself. Terracotta is also used to refer to the natural brownish-orange color characteristic of most terracotta items.
The two painted primitive terracotta vases in this lot, though unsigned, showcase the timeless appeal of this medium. With designs that hint at an antique, possibly Mediterranean influence, these vases are not only functional but also stand as artistic expressions, contributing to the rich history of terracotta in various forms of art and craftsmanship. The good condition of these vases further attests to the enduring nature of terracotta as a material.
