King Tut as realized in 1959 by the famed Italian ceramicist
Urbano Zaccaganini. It has purposefully
aged quality to the crazing and glazing...as if it were actually dug up after thousands of years. Interesting side note: Our shop's proprietor Stephen has a real family connection to the
original discovery. Stephen's maternal grandmother was actually present in Egypt when Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated and she even knew
Howard Carter. How's that for a little bit of history repeating?
