Modern Sgraffito Carved Wooden Floor Vase

This item is a tall, slender floor vase featuring a modern teardrop silhouette with a flared rim. It is constructed from solid wood, finished with a dark matte ebony or charcoal stain. The most distinguishing feature is a large, hand-carved sgraffito-style leaf or feather motif on the bulbous base. This decorative element reveals the natural, light-colored wood grain beneath the dark surface finish, creating a sharp visual contrast. The carving consists of a central spine with fine, parallel diagonal notches that mimic the texture of a palm frond or a large quill. The vase stands approximately 18 to 24 inches tall based on the surrounding carpet scale. In terms of condition, there are visible surface scuffs and dust accumulation throughout the body, particularly on the neck and shoulder area. Minor nicks or finish losses are apparent along the top rim and near the base edge. It has a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic, likely produced for the home decor market as a contemporary accent piece. The craftsmanship is of standard mass-retail quality, prioritizing visual impact through high-contrast carving over fine joinery or exotic wood selection.
