Large glazed terracotta pot

Very nice large pot in painted terracotta, glazed and cracked, handmade, vintage, with its lid. Pot body light blue top with stylized fish patterns dark blue, light yellow bottom with dark blue starfish patterns. White/beige lid with dark blue geometric patterns. About 22cm high with lid, 16cm without, 14cm in diameter. Interior red earth transparent varnish. Unsigned. Beautiful general condition, no crack, some light time marks on the body and lids, quite discreet. However, the upper edge of the pot bears signs of wear quite present especially on one side (the other being quite clean), lack of paint and varnish exposed red earth, marks of old paint (it had been repainted), the lid when it also has traces of wear on the rim but they are much lighter, a painted shine, not very visible. These defects are part of its patina, it is nevertheless a very pretty handcrafted and relatively unusual piece. About 1kg.
