I bought this last year when I went to Romania. I haven't used it. This is a Horezu pottery vase, a traditional Romanian folk craft. The name "Horezu" refers to the unique style and place of origin of this pottery, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. * Origin: Horezu, Vâlcea County, Romania * Design: Traditional motifs such as roosters, which are common symbols in Horezu pottery, are depicted. * Technique: Decorated by hand using a special glaze and produced using traditional firing techniques. * Status: Recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Thank you for looking.
