The body of the Vase is composed of an original mosaic of fine black filigree (the stems) and bright red tesserae (the poppies) and deep aquamarine glass canes (the sky), an intense play of transparencies and hues. The detachment of the punty "stacco del Puntello" denotes its completely handmade workmanship. Measurements Height: 24.7 Diameter: 11.5 cm See less
