This vase is monstrous, but I still like it

I think this vase is ugly, so ugly that it's actually attractive.

It's very rough, the maker left sharp, even broken edges at some parts, mainly at the endings of the handles.
The handles are from a different color, greenish, while the main body is pinkish. Also the handles are hollow I think.
Tha main body is slightly ribbed, and twisted, and the upper part is more prominently twisted than the bottom part.
Also there are strings of glass threads below the top rim, which combined with the ribbed body create an optical effect.
There are ugly prunts at the belly on two sides.
The pontil mark is also strange, if we can call it that.

Spanish most probably Lafiore or one of the many recycled makers.
