Vas de formă bitronconică, cu gât scurt cu buză rotunjită și evazată. Oala este smălțuită interior și pe 2/3 din exterior. Prezintă două toarte late ce unesc buza vasului de zona diametrului maxim. Decorații în registru floral-vegetal, dispuse concentric, în partea superioară a vasului, compuse din linii ondulate și palmate. Cromatică: fond: cărămiziu; motive: alb, verde.

The vessel is glazed in a brick-red ground, with designs painted in white and green pigments. The application of color is deliberate and restrained, emphasizing clarity over complexity. The handles are structurally integrated, not merely ornamental, suggesting a balance between utility and aesthetic refinement. The concentric layout of the motifs aligns with the vessel’s form, enhancing visual harmony.

This artifact originates from a region with a long tradition of ceramic production, likely collected during the late 19th or early 20th century. It is held in the Museum of Ethnography, where it was cataloged as part of a broader effort to document regional material culture. Its specific place of origin and maker remain undocumented, but its style aligns with folk traditions of the Carpathian Basin.

Similar vessels appear in archaeological and ethnographic records from Eastern Europe, often associated with domestic or ceremonial use. The combination of bitronconical form, limited glazing, and vegetal decoration reflects a localized aesthetic that persisted through generations. This piece stands as an example of pre-industrial craftsmanship, where form and ornament were shaped by both practical needs and inherited visual codes.

Though not widely published or exhibited, the vase contributes to the understanding of regional ceramic practices in Eastern Europe. Its preservation in the Museum of Ethnography ensures its role as a reference for studying material continuity, decorative conventions, and the transmission of craft knowledge in rural communities before widespread industrialization.
