📖 Mini Story | Vintage HQ

This charming three-piece clay set appears to have been produced as a decorative African souvenir, drawing inspiration from traditional ceramic forms. Made from earthenware clay and finished with hand-applied woven fibre, the set reflects the textures and visual language of African pottery rather than functional tableware.

The small scale, fixed lid, and compact cups indicate this set was intended for display rather than use, making it a lovely shelf piece, vignette accent, or addition to a cultural or travel-themed collection. With its tactile surfaces and sculptural form, it offers a warm, handcrafted aesthetic and a nostalgic sense of place.
