Lot #110: Gilded Sun-Motif Decorative Vessel – Hand-Finished Statement Piece

This striking decorative vessel commands attention through its rich gilded surface and sculptural sun-face relief. The form is bold yet balanced, with a gently flared rim and rounded body that allows the gold finish to catch and reflect light from every angle, creating a warm, luminous presence. The surface tells its own story. Subtle variations in the gilt, areas of natural wear, and traces of the underlying bole reveal a hand-applied finish rather than a uniform factory coating. The interior remains unglazed, reinforcing its role as a decorative object and highlighting traditional production methods. These details give the piece depth, character, and authenticity that cannot be replicated in modern décor. The sun motif adds symbolic strength and visual intrigue—evoking warmth, energy, and timeless design—making this vessel equally compelling as a standalone sculptural object or as part of a curated interior. Perfect for display on a console, pedestal, or table, this piece works effortlessly in both classic and contemporary settings, where texture, craftsmanship, and presence matter. A distinctive decorative object with real visual weight and undeniable character. Dimensions: 7”W-7”D-10”H Pickup category timeslot {A}
