Mid-Century Modern Style Decorative Ceramic Ewer Pitcher

This item is a tall, decorative ceramic ewer or pitcher featuring a slender, elongated neck and a high-arching handle characteristic of Mid-Century Modern silhouettes. The body is finished in a warm, dark wood-grain glaze that mimics the appearance of polished mahogany or walnut. Its bulbous midsection is decorated with hand-painted or transfer-applied geometric and floral panels in shades of ochre, sage green, and muted red, accented by black borders with white stippling. Around the narrow neck, a decorative white cord or wicker-style wrap adds tactile interest. Hanging from this wrap is a unique mixed-media charm consisting of a dark string, a wooden bead, and a circular wooden pendant containing a metallic-looking medallion with a profile relief. The piece sits on a flared, circular pedestal base. The overall construction appears to be molded ceramic with a matte to semi-gloss finish. Based on the stylistic elements and the 'wood-grain' ceramic technique, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century, drawing inspiration from high-end Danish modern or Italian Brutalist designs of the 1960s. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though light surface dust suggests it has been used as a stationary decor element for some time.
