This vase is innovative in design, yet pure in its form, with elements of antique China but with an overall modern look. No surprise it was selected for the "innovation competition at Maison&Objet 2022".
This version is 20cm wide and tall. The material is high end Chinese pottery, as used in the traditional tea pots, with a finish that goes from a bronze layer fading to black.
