About this work
Overview
The object is a shallow, conical ceramic piece of white base, featuring two concentric decorative bands of simple floral motifs. One band encircles the rim, the other is positioned centrally. Small perforations in the lower rim suggest it was intended to be suspended.
Subject & Meaning
The decorative program consists of stylised flowers rendered in muted green and blue pigments. The restrained palette and modest ornamentation indicate a functional rather than ceremonial purpose, likely serving as a wall‑mounted holder or decorative panel.
Technique & Style
The piece is formed from a single ceramic body, then fired to a white finish. Surface decoration was applied with slip or glaze in two narrow bands, using low‑contrast green and blue tones that blend subtly with the background. The perforated rim is a practical feature for hanging.
History & Provenance
The work originates from a tradition of utilitarian ceramics that incorporate modest floral decoration. Its construction and colour scheme are typical of regional production where wall‑mounted ceramic elements were used in domestic settings, though no specific provenance is recorded.
Context
Such shallow, conical ceramics were commonly employed in kitchens or storage areas as decorative hooks or holders. The floral bands reflect a broader aesthetic of integrating simple natural motifs into everyday objects, aligning with folk‑art practices.
