Lalla Vase

Name

Product Name: “Lalla Vase”

“Lalla” is a respectful title for women in Amazigh and Moroccan culture — a symbol of reverence, spirit, and creative power.

The Story Behind the Piece

Crafted by hand in the heart of Morocco, the Lalla Vase celebrates the feminine force — intuitive, expressive, and radiant. Two painted faces grace either side: one calm and geometric, the other vibrant and fiery, marked by orange waves and indigo blossoms.

Its tall, flared neck and rounded body echo traditional amphora shapes, while the painted details speak a language all their own — bold, fluid, symbolic. This vase is both a celebration of heritage and a statement of artistic freedom.

Why Each Piece is Special

Each Lalla Vase is one-of-a-kind, created without molds or machines. Every brushstroke, symbol, and face is painted freehand, making your piece a true original — just like the woman it’s named after.

The layered colors and symbolic forms are inspired by Amazigh motifs, desert landscapes, and North African oral traditions.
