The mouthpiece, cup-shaped, has open or hollow walls and a conical interior Among Spain's traditional clay instruments, this trumpet or aerophone was made in Agost (Alicante), in the workshops of the Piqueres family or the Vicedo family, both with a long tradition in pottery and artisanal ceramics Confirming its status as a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, wheel marks and the potter's marks are visible on the surface Condition: Very Good, new or as new. It shows a very fine line or micro-crack near the base, which does not pass into the interior of the piece or affect its structure. These fine lines on the surface are often the result of stresses during firing in the kiln or abrupt temperature changes (thermal shock) (See photos) The photos shown are part of the description We can ship it to your country by express courier and securely
