This double-necked ceramic art vase from the 1950s embodies the perfect fusion of Modern Regency style and sculptural raw ceramic.

The exterior features a heavily textured black and white glaze with a rough, cratered feel, reminiscent of the raw material of Mediterranean rocks. Vibrant enamel medallions, set within two windows with a glossy black finish, depict hand-drawn scenes celebrating Italian seaside charm: On the front: The famous traditional sailing ship with multicolored sails from "RIMINI" cutting through the waves.
