The patina is deep and uneven in the manner of a genuinely aged piece: warm copper tones emerge through a dark oxidised ground, the raised lines of the engraving catching the light whilst the recessed background remains in shadow, creating a relief-like quality that changes with every shift in illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is organised into distinct registers: a narrow band of continuous foliate scroll runs beneath the rim, while the body is given over to a broad field of interlacing arabesque enclosing calligraphic passages — text worked into the decoration as ornament, as meaning, and as craft simultaneously. A stepped collar at the base transitions the body to a flat foot ring, finishing the form cleanly. The neck is plain and unadorned, allowing the eye to rest before descending into the richness below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA piece of genuine craft heritage — the kind of object that carries its history in its surface, growing only more interesting with time and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiameter: 16 cm Height: 37 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is unique and handmade to order.\u003cbr\u003eContact us to enquire about this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Al Maleh House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43626457956465,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"MAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2235\/2497\/files\/Firefly_GeminiFlash_Removethebackgroundfromthisproductphoto.Thepieceisahand-engraveddarkened546909.png?v=1783600644","url":"https:\/\/almalehhouse.com\/products\/hand-engraved-copper-vase-arabesque-calligraphic-motifs-on-darkened-patina","provider":"Al Maleh House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
