Mid-20th Century Hand-Turned Wooden Vase with Hand-Painted Folk Art Silhouette Decoration

A hand-turned wooden vase crafted from a solid piece of wood. The vessel is designed with a wide flared rim, a tapered neck, a bulbous body, and a pedestal base. The wood displays a warm, honey-toned grain with natural darker figuring visible on the neck and rim. The body is decorated with hand-painted black silhouette scenes in a folk-art style, depicting a figure riding an animal, palm trees, and human figures. The underside of the base shows the natural end-grain growth rings and a central pith hole. No maker’s marks or signatures are present.
