Glazed terracotta pot

Very beautiful large painted, glazed and cracked terracotta pot, handcrafted, vintage, with its lid. Body of the pot, light blue top with dark blue stylized fish patterns, light yellow bottom with dark blue starfish patterns. White/beige lid with dark blue geometric patterns. Approximately 22cm in height with lid, 16cm without, 14cm in diameter. Transparent varnished earth red interior. Unsigned. Good general condition, no cracks, some light marks of time on the body and the lids, quite discreet. However, the upper edge of the pot has quite present signs of wear, particularly on one side (the other being quite clean), lack of paint and apparent red earth varnish, marks of old paint (it had been repainted), the lid also shows signs of wear on the rim but they are much lighter, a painted shine, barely visible. These defects are part of its patina, it nevertheless remains a very pretty handcrafted and relatively uncommon piece. About 1kg.
