Black Ceramic Vase with Greek Key and Figure Decoration

The item is a black ceramic vase with white decoration depicting a seated figure and a geometric band. The vase has a classic shape with a flared base, a bulbous body, a narrow neck with ribbed details, and a flared rim. The decoration is a silkscreen or transfer print. A prominent white meander or Greek key pattern encircles the upper part of the body. Below this, a single figurative scene in white depicts a seated person, possibly a philosopher or scholar, holding a spear or staff. The figure is seated on a stool or chair and appears to be draped in a robe. The overall design is inspired by ancient Greek pottery, specifically black-figure or red-figure techniques, but appears to be a modern interpretation rather than an antique. The ceramic material appears glossy. There are no visible chips, cracks, or other significant damage from the image provided. The ribbed neck suggests it might be designed for easier handling or simply as a decorative element. The craftsmanship appears to be mass-produced, with clean lines in the applied decoration. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the photograph. Based on its appearance and style, it is likely a decorative piece from the late 20th or early 21st century.
