An elegant baluster-shaped jug from the Romacrea school in Rome, active in the 1950s–60s and renowned for its creative forms and decorative invention. The piece is finished in a matt terracotta glaze with shimmering copper highlights, its surface adorned with a frieze of mythical creatures — from sirens to Cerberus — rendered in expressive relief. The tall handle, terminating in two sculpted round faces, enhances its sculptural presence. A distinctive piece inspired by classical mythology, with rich texture and refined artistic detail.
