Two-Handled Ceramic Vase/Ornament

The item is a small, handled ceramic vase, likely intended as a decorative ornament. It features a bulbous body transitioning to a narrower neck, flaring slightly at the rim. Two scrolled handles, possibly inspired by classical or Baroque designs, symmetrically extend from the mid-section up to just below the rim. The primary color scheme consists of a glossy brown glaze, accented by two prominent, vertical teardrop or flame-like patterns in a vibrant turquoise or teal color on the front and back of the body. The brown glaze appears somewhat translucent, allowing for subtle variations in tone. Further decorative elements include a scalloped or shell-like motif encircling the rim and a similarly detailed, ornate base with four small, decorative feet. The overall construction suggests molded ceramic, likely mass-produced. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, cracks, or chips visible in the image, and the glaze appears to be intact, indicating a "very good" condition as described in the accompanying text. The shiny finish suggests it has been well-preserved or is relatively new. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernable from the provided image. The style hints at mid-20th century aesthetics, possibly from the 1950s to 1970s, often seen in domestic decorative items.
