Petra Terracotta Vessel

Petra looks like something that could have been unearthed from an ancient civilization with surprisingly good taste in home decor.

Handcrafted from terracotta by artisans in Sabana Grande, Honduras, the Petra Vessel from Meso Goods brings centuries-old craftsmanship into the modern home with an appreciation for interesting shapes and imperfect surfaces. Its substantial, sculptural form and earthy finish give it the presence of a small archaeological discovery, while the handmade construction ensures each piece has its own subtle variations in character. At eleven inches tall, Petra makes a compelling centerpiece for a dining table, console, or shelf, requiring absolutely nothing inside it to justify its existence. Which is fortunate, because it's designed for decorative use rather than holding water. Some objects earn their place in a room simply by being interesting enough to look at.
