The Medici-form (or campana-form) vessel featuring a flared rim decorated with an egg-and-dart style border pattern, the main section displaying a classic ribbed or gaudronnée pattern carved directly into the stone.

The urn resting on a turned pedestal stem set upon a stable, square plinth base, crafted from hand-carved white/cream marble.

Ships as two pieces - bowl and base.
