A charming and unusual ceramic bottle shaped as a lyre, this piece reflects the decorative traditions of Southern France, where regional craftsmanship often drew inspiration from neighboring Mediterranean cultures. Both sculptural and functional, it embodies a playful approach to everyday objects.
Its warm terracotta-toned glaze is complemented by hand-applied floral motifs in soft pastel hues, adding a delicate contrast to the structured form of the instrument. The integrated handle follows the curve of the lyre, while the narrow neck and cork suggest it may have originally been used to hold oil or a homemade liqueur, common in southern European households.
