Antique Moroccan Fez Blue & White Ceramic Footed Vase with Filigree Metal Overlay, Early 20th Century. Dimensions: 10 in. x 14 inc. H. A striking antique Moroccan ceramic footed vase handcrafted in the historic city of Fez (Fès), renowned for producing some of Morocco's finest pottery for centuries. Dating to the early 20th century, this impressive vessel beautifully combines the celebrated ceramic traditions of Fez with the intricate artistry of Moroccan metalwork. Wheel-thrown from high-quality earthenware, the vase is decorated in the iconic "Bleu de Fès" palette, featuring richly painted cobalt blue floral and geometric motifs set against a luminous crackled white glaze. This distinctive blue-and-white decoration has long been associated with the master potters of Fez and reflects centuries of Andalusian, Moorish, and Islamic artistic influence. The ceramic body is enhanced by an elaborate handcrafted filigree metal overlay, composed of finely worked white metal and brass elements that wrap gracefully around the neck, body, handles, and pedestal foot. Decorative embossed bands, intricate openwork, and circular ring handles create a sophisticated interplay between ceramic and metal, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of Moroccan artisans. Its elegant baluster form, raised pedestal base, and twin ring handles evoke the refined decorative objects once found in traditional Moroccan riads and palaces. Originally created as an ornamental vase for displaying flowers or simply admired as a work of art, today it remains a stunning statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Rich in history and craftsmanship, this vase complements Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Islamic, Hollywood Regency, Global, and Bohemian interiors, making it equally desirable for collectors and interior designers.

An antique Persian blue and white glazed stoneware vase, probably dating to the 18th century, produced during the late Safavid to early Qajar period. The vessel features a rounded body rising from a ring foot to a short sloping shoulder and slightly raised rim. The exterior is decorated in cobalt blue under a white glaze with stylized floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs characteristic of Persian ceramic traditions influenced by both Islamic ornament and earlier Chinese blue and white porcelain. Particularly notable is the fluid quality of the cobalt decoration, with visible tonal bleeding and expressive brushwork across the surface. The lower section retains areas of exposed buff earthenware, creating a strong visual contrast with the vivid cobalt ornamentation above.
