{"product_id":"laith-vessel","title":"Ceramic Vase – Aged Black Terracotta Decorative Vessel","description":"\u003cp\u003eAged black terracotta describes a finish rather than a clay. Terracotta is the red-brown fired earthenware underneath, and the aged black is worked over it so the original color shows through wherever the surface has been rubbed back. The result is a vase that reads as having been somewhere before it arrived, which is the entire intent of the treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerracotta is a low-fired clay and it remains porous after firing, which is why unglazed terracotta pots sweat at the sides and why a terracotta vessel darkens where water stands against it. A surface treatment closes some of that porosity without converting the piece into glazed stoneware. The clay body is also relatively soft next to high-fired ceramics, so rims and edges take small marks over the years rather than chipping cleanly away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a mantel, a console, or a shelf where a dark form can stand against a pale wall. The aged surface does its work at close range and resolves into a solid silhouette from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Terracotta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Aged black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kavora","offers":[{"title":"Aged Black Terracotta","offer_id":45167514779714,"sku":"237769-001","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/7998\/8546\/files\/hf_20260907_051955_662f24d8-3791-4f61-9931-0bfec310d37b.png?v=1788758466","url":"https:\/\/www.kavorahome.shop\/products\/laith-vessel","provider":"Kavora Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
