Monumental Italian Alabaster & Onyx Ewer Vase – c.1950s–1970s – 105cm

A magnificent and sculpturally impressive carved stone ewer, likely Italian and dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s). Standing 105cm tall, this monumental piece is crafted from warm caramel onyx and creamy alabaster, showcasing exceptional contrast and craftsmanship.
