    Green Askos vase

    The artefact

    This large, organic-shaped vase is made using only the “a colombino” technique and its engraved and glazed surfaces are enhanced through the use of mottled contrasting vibrant colours. The nature and archaic culture of the island are emphasised by the choice of colours and shapes, characterised by the ceramist’s distinctive trait.
