Terracotta vase with relief figures depicting classical scenes

This terracotta vase appears to be a mid-20th century decorative piece inspired by classical Greek or Roman pottery designs. The reddish-orange clay body features relief figures in a narrative scene, with the upper portion showing a lighter coloration typical of oxidation firing techniques. Such decorative vases became popular as tourist souvenirs and home decor items during the post-WWII period when interest in Mediterranean aesthetics surged. Collectors of vintage decorative pottery and those interested in mid-century home accessories particularly value these pieces for their artistic interpretation of classical themes and their nostalgic connection to earlier travel culture.
