Tall, sculptural clay vessels formed in the classical amphora tradition, each with opposing loop handles, a flared rim, and a stepped circular foot. Constructed from terracotta clay and finished in a rich brown glaze, the surfaces show subtle throwing lines, joined sections, and kiln-set variations that speak to hand production rather than factory output. Each vessel is fitted with a thick braided fiber cord tied at the waist and finished with a long tassel, introducing a tactile, almost nautical accent against the glossy ceramic surface. While closely related in form, the two vessels differ slightly in scale and proportion, suggesting intentional pairing rather than exact duplication. The result is architectural and grounded-objects that borrow ancient Mediterranean vocabulary while reading firmly as 20th-century decorative forms.

Decorative amphora-style vessels like these were commonly produced by independent studios and regional potteries, drawing inspiration from Greek and Roman storage jars while adapting the forms for interior display during the early to mid 20th century.

Shows age-appropriate wear including light surface abrasions, glaze variation, minor chips along edges, and wear to the rope tassels; no significant cracks or structural instability observed.
